I'm looking around to see if it's worth it to buy an off the shelf NAS appliance and every single review has a whole mess of comments like "DAE CHINESE COMPANY CCP"

like motherfucker you live in burger land shut the fuck up

PS: can anyone recommend an inexpensive NAS appliance that I can throw an open source NAS OS on to serve up a few mismatched hdd I have kicking around?

waiting for new rockchip to liberate me from 86 prison via ugreen/minisforum pray-against

buy old used one if you don't care about transcoding stuff, it's not like 2-4 sata box advanced a ton aside from that (if you do care about transcoding, but don't need lots of shit in containers, smol ugreen with rockchip, allegedly, works very well with jellyfin))

    In general, is it possible to load up a NAS with mismatched drives? Do they usually have general purpose drive controllers or are they special RAID only deals

    Of course, unless it’s later synology when they tried to push their own drives, they are like small pc eating whatever.

    Now if you do raids/zfs, they are more fussy about mismatched sizes (you will get lower of the two size likely as a result).

    If you don’t care about speed of raid/zfs, you can mirror folders manually i believe with rsync or whatever
