Nas build (alien.top)

I’m looking at building a basic nas for my church to be able to store files and transfer things between systems. What is the recommended system to install - we are looking at using a few year old business class desktop (optiplex or elite desk) to host and while I don’t want something super complicated I also don’t want to end up needing features and not having them later.

Would also recommend to get a basic prebuild 2-bay NAS in your case. Synology, Qnap and Asustor all have app stores and Docker support within their NAS so you can install additional software later.

- Asustor AS5402T Nimbustor 2 Gen2

- QNAP Turbo Station TS-262-4G

- TerraMaster F2-223

- Synology DiskStation DS224+
