[QUOTE="R2D2, post: 794840, member: 64945"] I bought a Netgear 6 drive and a Synology 2 drive NAS boxes. But I'd have preferred a FreeNAS if I had an old PC that could be repurposed. Sadly that wasn't the case so I had to shell out a tidy sum for those NAS solutions + the cost of 8 hard disks. It can pinch the wallet. Set your budget according to the amount of storage you need and the Apps/tasks you intend to run on the NAS especially CPU and RAM intensive tasks like video transcoding. If you intend to keep your NAS on 24x7 use WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf drives. PS - Do consider future data requirements too. I just noticed you mention 3 TB in one of your posts but given the way things are that data can grow to 2-3x that over the years depending on what you choose to back up especially videos/movies/music that are pure data hogs.
