The cool thing about USB HDDs - when one dies, you just plug in another one - no issues with funky formatting, windows/linux compatibility or whatever. I had the power supply die on a QNAP NAS once… only once because even though the HDDs inside the NAS were fine, QNAP basically made the data on them inaccessible from any other system - no more proprietary NAS systems for me, thanks.

I assumed that they didn’t have old hardware lying around, in which case they are not incorrect as they will need at the very least 8gb to run the server effectively which by itself is approx $100 unless your looking at the second hand market.
