Well, my old small form factor PC is still working, which is basically being used as a router.
Don’t need the NAS to have any drives. Don’t want any used drives anyways. I’ll just buy some old stock “refurbished” drives. If it comes with one or two of those, then that’ll work too.
I could get a small form factor PC, but not as small as I’d want. But the pawn shop might have one for $80. Might not be the exact same model as mine, or a local location either. Depends how much the shipping is. If it isn’t free shipping, probably not worth it.
Got to check NAS prices anyways. Don’t care what brand really either. Also, might not even get one. Just wondering how much a used one is.
Why buy new shit anymore anyways? Next year could be horrible for a lot of people.
Well, I forgot, I have a HD dock plugged into Raspberry Pi, with a drive in only one slot. The main drive is a regular USB drive, the reason that drive kind of sucks. NAS drive in a decent enclosure, apparently works just fine though. Maybe even one of the drives on Orange Pi 5 is fine as well.
Also, don’t really need another drive, or more storage. In that case, I just need the cheapest drive I can format, and never put anything on it.
