neither.

 

raspberry pi limits you to usb2.0, which is a joke for a nas...

a prebuilt nas is usually overly expensive for what it is.

 

besides, building your own nas is a good learning expeience.

it gets crushed to bits by most things, but its pretty good preformance/$

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Why comic sans? That shits cancer dude...

 

Anyway, what are the components in the prebuilt pc?

You could always buy used parts on ebay/craigslist and just build one: It's more fun that way anyway :D

besides, the raspberry pi is 35 dollars, a power brick is 10 dollars, you need a usb hard drive, an SD card is another 20 bucks.

 

i'll pop back in with a rough example nas on pcpp to show how cheap you can get without even going second hand.

255 dollars, which sounds like a lot, but probably cheaper than a prebuilt nas when fitted with drives (note: $120 worth of drives in this) and most likely not much more expensive than a decent raspberry pi nas setup.

should add: imo the raspberry pi is an amazing toy for people who have outgrown hot wheels. its a cheap platform thats very easy to overclock, experiment with, and is pretty dang resilient to stupid shit.
