Budget Starter NAS Build in c/[email protected]

I’ve definitely considered that route. My main reasons for favoring this approach:

  1. I can buy part-by-part over time as sales come up
  2. Im interested in learning by building my own

I was hoping that I could find a good Black Friday sale on Synology and then I’d probably go that way, but I haven’t seen a big sale anywhere

Hi all,

I’m considering getting into the game and building a budget NAS from scratch. How does this build look as a simple, relatively cheap starting point?
