Hey guys, I've been wanting a NAS for a looong time. But the amount of options can be pretty confusing, and I haven't really found good resources to sort through them. I've even read through Brian Moses's DIY NAS guides.
What I'm really looking for is an economical but robust solution that I'll be able build on into the future. That's why I plan to use existing 1 TB drives while I learn more about how to use a NAS in general. Performance is really not an issue, and if possible I'd like to use secondhand equipment unless there's a specific reason not to.
I would greatly appreciate the sage advice of those who know better.
