Lately, I’ve been exploring QNAP due to its robust hardware, but it’s a little beyond my budget. Are there any suitable options? Will be using this as my video server/backup/ Jellyfin player mount point etc. Planning on using a graphic card to transcode 4k 2 or 3 videos per time. Just want something out of the box that doesn’t have to be configured.
Any experiences and recommendations with NAS would be greatly appreciated!
I bought a i5-7xxx HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF for $85 on ebay. Added a nvme drive and two 12TB 3.5HDDs and it’s a nice little NAS. Running OMV on it so some containers as well.
Highly recommend - nice pricepoint.
