If you want a nice prebuilt, you could look at Ugreen or TerraMaster. Both are unlocked units and unlike Synology, you can use the OS and drives of your choice. In the 4 bay, I think the Ugreen DXP4800 (N100) for $499 or DXP4800 Plus (Pentium Gold 8505) for $595 is the best bang for buck. There is t

The DXP2800 is a good choice as a starter NAS. Another good budget choice would be the Terramaster F2-425 or even the F4-425. Both are quite competitive in terms of price and performance and their software is more mature compared to UGreen's. Just make sure to select the largest HDDs your budget can

UGreen for me by far was the easiest for me to understand and setup as a noob. When I started 18 months ago I knew nothing about network attached storage other than plugging in an external hard drive, and calling that a backup.

The latter is not nearly as slick as Synology. I minim

You can consider TerraMaster F4-424

If you're not planning to use NVME, just skip this one, go and get TerraMaster F4-424 will probably cheaper and less hassles.

I got a terramaster f4-425. I was underwhelmed with it. Although it runs unraid for me now, without issue, setting up usb boot in bios was a pain. I can’t recall what the solution was but it just didn’t want to appear as a bootable device. However, after hours/days of poking, it worked. Also, the f4

I hear you! The HDD and SSD prices in Malaysia have skyrocketed. Luckily I'm getting HDDs and SSDs from Taiwan. They are way too expensive in Malaysia. Now I'm stuck between the Terramaster F4-424 PRO and the UGREEN DXP4800+ as the F4-425+ is out of stock 😢. The 424 Pro is cheaper than the DXP4800+.
