Advice to upgrade from 2slots sbc to a 4/5 slots NAS
Advice to upgrade from 2slots sbc to a 4/5 slots NAS
I currently have an Odroid H4C that has two SATA with two 12TB hard drives.
It's starting to get too small, so I was thinking of taking the step and move to a 4/5 bays NAS and reuse the disks (the other option was to add disks via USB).
What NAS do you recommend me to continue being able to have my *ARR suite + torrent + nextcloud + syncthing + small services(gitea, trillium notes, etc)?
I would like to already have some redundancy, can I use the hard drives as they are or will I have to do something to them besides adding other hard drives? (my idea was to add one more disk of 12 to have redundancy and already expand space with a fourth disk)
Edit:
I wan't to buy and forget, so no to build myself.
I really don't think in any budget, but as cheat as can be, without loss any funcionality that i stated before.
I run my services mostly in docker
Currently stream in my lan without any web, in samba folders but jellyfin could be interesting (not Plex, trying to FOSS to maximum)
The redundancy is for data safe
Thanks for your answers

Some of those apps are available through the community package center. If not then you can run a docker environment or a virtual machine on the DS and run whatever you want. It’s got a lot more horsepower than a single board computer, but I still recommend separation of duties and let the NAS be a NAS. Put your services on a server or separate virtual environment.
This is my DS16xx+ and expansion bay
I'd second this, if only because it's super easy to run things on and OP explicitly said they don't want to tinker with it. There is a limited list, imo, of buy and forget.
That's said, I personally think a cheap little 4th gen or higher Intel based tiny/mini/micro would do a way better job on the services side, and just store on the NAS.
