A full PC is more flexible and customisable, not to mention easier to configure (you have a screen, keyboard, etc), and it's updateable (software, adding new extra drives, etc), than standalone devices. And these days there are low power ordinary PCs. This one only uses about 55 watts when just sitting there and being very idly used. I used the server install spin, added just a few things that I use. I don't think it has a whole swag of unnecessary things already included (guessing as to one reason why you ask about a Fedora NAS). It included cockpit, which lets you remote configure the thing via a webpage (handy if you're thinking of stashing it somewhere out of the way). I've toyed with off-the-shelf NAS devices, and compatibility is a pain. Cheap ones are lowest common denominator devices, some have weird behaviour (one stores everything as the root or nobody user (inconsistently), and relies on how you to connect to it to decide who you are. Often it won't let you connect. Updates are only available for a short time, if they ever are. Updates may involve removing a feature that you want to use, rather than them bothering to fix problems with it. An ordinary PC usually has a few drive bays, allowing room for improvement, drive swaps, or RAID. Cheap NAS devices are usually just single drive. Slightly more expensive ones may be two-drive devices. Multi-bay NAS devices may cost more than a normal PC, and you may be locked into their way of doing things, though a good one will make it easy to swap drives unlike having to disassemble a PC on a workbench. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
