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!
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).
