Comment on Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS?
hakase@lemmy.zip 20 hours agoHow fast/reliable/cheap are USB drive enclosures? Maybe I should just go that direction instead of buying a whole new system for it. As long as the NAS software doesn’t require much overhead, I’ve got an old laptop that should be able to handle things well enough if that would work.
Plus, then I could still grab one of these cheap Win 10 machine as a server box to run all of the services to go along with the NAS.

For a NAS? Not very. Mine drops out periodically. That’s part of why I’m building another machine to house everything. The USB enclosure will not see “production” use after that.
