    IMO, skip buying a "NAS" and just build a computer with hard drives in it. If you have a bunch of servers that need shared storage, that justifies buying a NAS. But that NAS can still be just a computer with hard drives in it.

    To answer your question requires a bit more info. What is your budget? And how many users, besides yourself, do you plan to potentially serve? Will you have HDR content?

    Even if you are familiar with Linux, I would still recommend using Debian or a Debian based OS since we have a lot of automation scripts and documentation for them.
