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?

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