Cloud vs. Edge: Cost and performance. Use Case: Mainly storage but probably also jellyfin, and some ligher apps. Not really AI. Performance: How key is CPU power, power efficiency, or upgradability (e.g., PCIe slots)? For me power efficiency and noise would be important. Of course a better CPU is nice. Your LAN speed (1, 2.5, 10, 25 Gbps)? 10Gbps at least. Storage: Preferred drive bay count (2, 6, 8+)? NVMe cache for reads/writes? Ideal capacity (10 TB, 50 TB+)? 6 bays + nvme ofr cache. OS: TrueNAS, Unraid, OpenMediaVault, Linux, or no preference? Not sure Design: Appearance matter? Displayed or hidden? Doesnt matter that much but smaller better. Budget: Ideal price (excluding drives)? 600 usd Pain Points: What frustrates you about NAS or cloud solutions? Killer feature to switch? Would be pretty cool to easily be able to expand bays. Lets say you got 4 bays. And you can then buy some case that connects to the main unit and lets you add additional storage.
