Setting up a home NAS can offer several benefits, depending on your needs:

- A NAS provides a central location for storing and accessing files, making it easier to manage and share data across all devices in your home.

- NAS can serve as a reliable backup system, safeguarding important data from loss. This includes automatic backups and version history capabilities.

- If you have a large media collection, a NAS can serve as a media server, streaming music, movies, and photos to devices around your home.

- NAS allows you to access your files from anywhere with an internet connection, making it great for remote work or travel.

- Fun and Learn - If you enjoy tinkering with tech, setting up and managing a NAS can be a fun, rewarding project that gives you a deeper understanding of networking, storage, and server management.

I use NAS for all of the above!!

Raid isn't a backup. If a file gets corrupted on one drive it will on the second. Same with ransom ware.

I use a low end, low power, small form factor J4125 based PC with a single large drive. I run Linux rsync, hyperbackup works great with it. That machine is also my secondary local DNS server along with some other light tasks. The cost without the drive was about $100. Typical power usage is under 15W including the drive.

I have a backup drive in external enclosure connected to one of the ports on the disk station:

I rotate the drives every few month and keep the spare one in a different location than the Synology.

Good for Plex? Seems like people are saying it's not a good Plex option. I want to upgrade my old QNAP Plex server, only need 2 bays.

I backup my DS218+ to another Synology. Then do USB HDD backups weekly and rotate the USB drives. I also do a monthly backup to an online service.

Synology to Synology was more what I was thinking. You sound covered for any event though.

Correct, this doesnt have an IGP like the Intel versions do. So there is no hardware encoding, and instead you have to do software transcoding which is going to be a terrible experience on 2 Zen cores.

I really want to tinker with a home NAS, but I'm not sure I need it. What makes setting up a system like this worth it?
