I’m in the market for a NAS for storage and surveillance. In the future, I could see moving my Home Assistance instance here as well.

In looking for solutions, I’m debating between purchasing a “consumer friendly” option like QNAP or Terramaster 4-bay options versus a full Dell server like this. It emight be overkill, especially considering I have an Intel NUC right now running HA.

Given my intention and always keeping an eye on expandability, what do you think is the better option for me?
