    Rather than a NAS, consider building an Unraid server, I built my first one from old hardware that I repurposed, my current one is a little more sophisticated but not over the top.

    Unraid can be setup as an automated media server with all the ARRs running to manage your library.

      +1 for Unraid, setup is super easy and being able to mix different size disks is pretty awesome. Their Docker catalog is nice but I try to avoid spinning too much up on my NAS itself- its CPU is a hand-me-down from one of my old gaming PCs.

      If you don’t mind me asking, what are the specs on your machine and about how much did it cost to get started.
