You can save money on das by getting a 2 drive enclosure. Im not sure if drive enclosure is just marketing for non tech enthusiast das or if there’s a real difference.
But in practical terms haha storage go brr either way.
Comment on Over Synology, and looking to build my first home lab. Could use some advice on parts...

Honestly I’d just buy a mini pc for a few hundred bucks, and a 5-6 bay DAS like a terramaster for a few hundred more. Way easier for someone that has never built a pc or a nas.

Yeh a DAS is basically just an enclosure, well most of them. Some do have hardware raid though.

Yeah I have a NUC and a QNAP RAID DAS. Works well though the DAS is on the loud side.
