Hey all.

Sorta just starting out, so I’m curious — what did you do for your first homegrown NAS setup? 1u with SAS attached storage? A 2u with 8 bays to get yourself started?

Basically, I’m looking for something reasonably priced that has enough power to run vms and containers, and have enough drive bays to get a decent NAS setup. There’s TONS of options, and most of them are less than budget friendly. Am I looking in the wrong places?
