Aoostar makes some really great tiny NAS devices based on the Intel N100/N150 series, and they also have an AMD unit if that’s your jam (it’s mine). If you buy the one with built in main storage it comes with Windows 11 Pro installed but you can wipe that and install Linux or a dedicated NAS OS if you wish. Or just save money and throw a NVMe SSD in for the OS and a bunch of HDDs for media and go to town.
The best part is you can buy direct from Aoostar, no need to buy from Amazon though they are offered there too.
I also like UGREEN’s NAS offerings, they come with their own custom NAS OS that supports Docker so you can run all your *arrs and Jellyfin and other server apps as containers. The web-based interface is like using a normal Linux or macOS desktop.
Thanks for the info. These look brilliant! I am more AMD incljned also but ive read that in terms of transcoding media, Intel is better. I have time though. Not gonna buy anything until after christmas.
