If you have a computer, and it’s on the internet, you have NAS… Network Attached Storage… your computer is on the network, and it has storage, then it’s network attached storage. Everything else is just software controlling it all. FFS
Yes, you’re right, pedantic, but right. Thing is, we’ve been talking about having an “on-prem” NAS.
There’s really not any need to have a go at me, I’m just trying to help some dude who doesn’t want to spend an extra 300 quid on a NAS box, setup the software and have to play with raid.
As if any of that is more complicated than running your off the shelf Windows computer… at about the same cost… because, ultimately, they’re the same thing… an operating system, running one or more storage drives, plugged into a network. If that is too complex to wrap one’s mind around… well… shrugs
