Recommend me a decent but cheap NAS
Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there's one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works.
Located in EU if it makes any difference.

I'm also in the market for this.
I'm considering setting up a raspberry pi4 nas, and would love to hear pros and cons from people with experience on the matter.
I assume there are faster solutions, but I think it should meet my needs well
I made one with an R-pi and hard drive with Open Media Vault. It was pretty easy to set up, and I haven't had any trouble with it. Only one disk so far, since I don't have that much stuff.
The main issue is if you try to attach multiple portable drives. My Pi 3B+ could only really power a single HDD, but I wanted to attach multiple. The only solution there was a powered USB hub. I eventually got an old Lenovo mini PC and used that.
Yeah, I'm just split between that or an odroid hc4. I wouldn't even need to buy a case for it.
I wouldn't recommend a Pi 4 even if you can get one at the listed price. It is fast enough but it lacks the interface and connectivity for a decent NAS.
