n00b question, sorry. If I had a desktop that could hold 4 HD and 2 SSD, could I turn it into a NAS? Could someone point me in the right direction if this makes sense?

    It’ll work fine. A NAS is just a PC. Try Unraid if you want a user friendly UI. It costs money but it’s only a one off payment for a lifetime license, and they have a free trial.

      +1 for unRAID. I did the same when I got tired of Netflix increasing prices while dropping content. Also got annoyed with my cable because it’s expensive and good content is rare.

      Bought a 12th gen i5 desktop on sale and 4 x 10Tb drives and installed unRAID on a USB key.

      Easiest thing I’ve done in years and it’s 100x better than Netflix and 1000x better than cable.
