I'd put it in line with knowing basic car maintenance like being able to change your own oil. Or changing out your own light or switch.

I've said that in retrospect the two classes I should have taken in high school were auto shop and typing.
I don't remember my high school offering auto shop. I did take a typing
Yeah, they can be large. And I don't really have a high-end audio
system, so I probably won't notice the difference in audio quality, but
I still feel like if I'm going to pay money for something, I don't want
to be too compressed. I think they charge about the same for a movie on
a streaming service as they do for a blu-ray or DVD version.
San Francisco in the 1990s - there was a BTO computer shop every mile or so, and LAN TIMES and Computer Currents ran ads for them in every issue.
I cashed out a ton of PTO in 1997 and splurged on a BTO computer - was able to specify every part, including what kind of keyboard I wanted. It was a luxury after scrounging computers for the past 10 years.
The Synology units are pricey, but modern ones offer NVME caches, the ability to run Docker natively, and Synology's drive, backup, email,
chat and streaming apps. If you have a need for all that, they're pretty nice. --- SBBSecho 3.20-Win32
Is this the stuff you put in Poke Salad, Annie?
I recently went through the exercise of exploring how much to "build my own" vs buying a NAS. I wanted the small form factor (that the
At home (and the van), I have QNAPs, but I dont run QNAP software, I use
Yes. There will be limits on the number of transcoded streams (based on your CPU/GPU capability and what else the Plex server system is
servicing) and the total network through-put your server can support,
but should be plenty for a family.

Yeah, before Fry's came in, there were about 8-9 smaller computer
stores, but 6 of them were owned by the same guy under different names. Trying to get a MB locally and having to drive to a few places reminded
me of those days too.
A used server on Ebay, assuming you have space for a 1-2u server chasis
On the used server front, it may cost about the same, but you can often find systems that are a lot more powerful, loaded with ram, and maybe slightly older drives with life left on them.
Eh, not sure I want to build my own .. I have noticed a few "less expensive" options then the first brand that pulled up with a quick search such as the Terramaster F4-210 for $209 (4 bay,) and the Sabrent USB 3.2 DS-SC4B is $229. This is all new to me so these names mean nothing, maybe are just that
So a couple of things to keep in mind (this depends if you want to run other things on it too - like media services).
Have you seen how they prepare Poke weed to make it safe to eat? It's kinda like preparing puffer fish (haha ..) I have no clue what Poke
Salad, Annie is ..
Do you still have Fry's? Ours closed. Hmm .. sounds like a fun business to open. If someone lived in an area with a lot of neighbors employed within the tech industry it might be fun to "test." And with those concerned about "privacy" BTO might even attract those (with money) who want a more custom machine with the right software / services supporting it (all while supporting the little guy ..) Ok thats one heck of an ad to try to market but dang it I want the corner PC store back in the hood.

is my intent (other then purchasing the HD's separately.)

Use ZFS and you then have a system that will survive moves to different hardware, as long as the drives are ok.. I've done that just recently
with a client.. Moved from a *old* dell core 2 something, to a I3-3240. The only thing that changed was adding an extra 4gb of ram (Now 8), and moving the HD's across.
ZFS dosn't care about what port the drives are on, as they get 'label'
and then just re-connects them.
My only concern with ZFS has been the alleged memory overhead. I thought
I heard a gig per terabyte? Is this realistic?

Around California, a Poke bowl is sashimi-grade tuna in a bowl with nori, sesame seeds, rice and a hot sauce (usually sriracha and mayo).

So it depends on your requirements. If you want fast I/O *and* de-duplication, then yes its a gig per terabyte apparently.
I run it on a 4GB QNAP that has 16TB of storage - but I dont use de-duplication, and its just stores my photos and videos. (IE: I dont use it as a drive letter that I read/write edit files from directly). That same machine also has a jellyfin jail.
