Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there's one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works.

Located in EU if it makes any difference.

My setup is a raspberry pi with a large external hard drive running smbd, and it works fine.

    What model pi? How responsive do you find it?

    I think it's a base model 3, no gobs of memory. I don't use it for anything especially taxing, just file storage and occasionally streaming music or low-resolution video. The bottleneck is the slow WD Archive hard drive.
