Don't let this confuse you with an actual NAS

To clarify slightly further. Yes this is a DAS not a NAS. Adds storage to a PC, not to your network. Cheaper because it doesn't have the brains to run itself, it needs your computer.

Or to add to this unit https://slickdeals.net/f/17907429-qnap-ts-262-2-bay-desktop-nas-with-intel-cpu-and-m-2-slots-239?att... which makes it available on your network.

This is just a large USB storage box, not a NAS. Good company, stupid idea for a product.
Just because you dont understand the need for a product does not make it stupid.

No, these are good for people that need them.

It's hard to find well built external storage that doesn't require you to jump through hoops to make it useable.

Can you plug this into a Synology NAS (via the USB port) to increase the storage capacity?

I have i5-8500/16 GB/Win11 which I used as media server (Jellyfin). I never have a NAS. Can I connect this to my media server and run it as a home NAS? Can I access it from outside my home network so I can back up photos from Android phones while I'm travelling? Do I need to run separate software? I already have Docker installed in my media server. TIA.

I think you need Synology branded expansion units, usually more expensive.

Agreed. Something like this works well for people who deal with large files (raw footage, photo or design files), since working large files in real time over a network can often spell disaster.
