Beginner NAS setup for lab data (~10–12TB, $500 budget) — prebuilt vs DIY?
A synology DS124 runs about 150$ on newegg. Pair that with a 12tb Seagate ironwolf for about 370$ on newegg as well. This solution will meet your main goals of a good backup, easy integration, and no frills. The notable downsides are no frills and no scalability. But it will be a decent NAS for 500$

NAS RAM requirements? Synology DiskStation DS124
Good to know, thanks. I think I'm going to go with the Synology DS224+ now, it's quite a bit more expensive than the DS124, but comes with 2GB RAM that can be upgraded to 6GB if need be. It has 2 drives instead of the 1. I think the DS423 might be a bit overkill drive bay wise for me currently, but
