A few weeks ago i wanted to buy a prebuild NAS (synology, qnap etc...) After learning about most of the products in the 4+ Nas Market. I started reading about building my own via freenas, etc...
My question at this point, why would i even buy a pure NAS product? The good ones need around 20W on standby and cost around 600+ (Rackcases) RS812+ f.e.
For this price i can easily build a pc that is probably faster than the one im currently using as my main PC . Energy wise it would be very compareable, but without any restrictions. Why on earth would i buy a prebuild system?
