Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hey guys. I was planning on getting a Raspberry Pi 4 for a home NAS / Plex (and Pi-Hole) setup. Would you recommend that or just getting a Synology or something comparable?

I'll mainly store videos, archives off my photography and some roms.

Looking forward to your experiences and opinions!

The raspberry pi would require you to spend days setting everything up. But the NAS takes minutes. I was thinking the same thing last week but bought the NAS and it has built in docker and so many other features already setup.
