DIY vs pre-build NAS for home use

What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?

Asking as I've got a lot of spare components lying around that I'm planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn't work out I'll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.

Syno 920+ for me

Same. Having all their custom software available and just one click away is amazing, and with Docker you can install everything else just like a regular server. It's the best of both worlds imo.

I'll third that. I got a lemmy server up and running on mine too which was fun. I opted for a cloud solution though in the end.
