Argon one has a expensive but nice nas case for pi4.

Looks cool. I’ve had bad experiences with those little usb jumpers. One I tried from another company caused huge interference with wifi and any wireless usb devices connected. For important data I run a Synology NAS. I just can’t help myself from playing with the RPIs I own. Probably won’t buy more going forward.

For my nas I just have a 4 bay USB attachment for a raspberry 4. Has a 8 terribyte drive I backup occasionally . Shared over nfs. A few other throw away drives for random things that aren't important. It's attached to the router via Ethernet so I don't need to worry about wifi. Its also where I keep my printer.

It allows me to stream two 4k videos at once to two TVs so that's fast enough for me.

And I can use srcripts to auto backup stuff. It's also running a invidious instance so I can watch YouTube ad free. I backup it's postgress database occasionally.

Raspberry PI 5 has a lot of improvements that would make it a better nas but I'm using it for random fun stuff
