Sorry not a deal. The Nas was $535 recently. For drives I grabbed 3 10tb HGST refurbs for under $300. In raid 5 that gives me18tb with a open bay. No I did not give you a thumbs down

Any old mini PC should be cheaper as NAS alternative with usb external hard drives.
I think you would be referring to JBOD. And that won't work if you're looking for a NAS. Not a bad idea for certain things, but I'll pass on that.
This NAS is overpriced as well. If you're into computers as a hobby or know what you're working with, you can buy the parts you need for a NAS and put one together using a multitude of different OS's and configurations.
Or just wait for a decent one and done unit to come along and pick it up. Synolgy or QNAP are decent brands that sell varying levels of NAS devices. You can choose to pick up a diskless and add the disks yourself and save money that way too.
Depends on what you're going to be doing with it.
