Need help choosing a NAS. (thebrainbin.org)

Hello everyone! I need your help choosing a NAS. (I don't need a big one, a 2 bay model should suffice.) What are your recommendations?

(Not so long ago, I would have taken one from Synology, but it seems they now force us to use their own, too expensive, HDD.)

Roll your own with a Raspberry Pi.

Depending on the Pi, you will be limited to USB2 speeds.

@Limerance@piefed.social @Naich@lemmings.world Even with USB3, might be a bit short in speed. Don't need to go to NVMe speed, but I think modern SATA HDD would be nice. Also, it will be put on a local network.

I get 120MB/s via local network sharing USB3 SATA HDD through a RPi 4b 4GB!
