Hello lemmy, I have currently 4x4tb hard drives but they are almost full. Im thinking of getting a 8 bay das so i can put extra drives in it. I have looked around but wasnt able to find something that looked good, does someone have recommandations? Thanks for your time!

    That would replace the computer with the NAS though and is not true for a server that you’d want to extend, right?

        No worries I phrased that quite weird I think.

        A NAS is only more power efficient if the additional power of a full server is not used. If for some reason the server is still needed than the NAS will be additional power consumption and not save anything.

        (for example I run some quite RAM and compute heavy things on my server which no stock NAS could handle I think).
