Hello,

I would like to setup a dirty cheap NAS for my local network. I want to spend near the price of no money. I have multiple 3.5' HDD sata drives and I want to access them from my network. I could place them in my desktop, but it is not on 24/7, and power usage would be too high for this use case. I have RPI Zero W, Radxa Zero 1 (although no idea how am I supposed to put firmware in this thing), and Odroid C2.

What are my options?

How many drives? You can normally pick up cheap 2nd hand nas boxes for next to nothing

I am in the same boat as OP — can you share any advice on where to look, and any examples of different brands, models, or specs to look for to make sure I’m not buying crap?
