The NAS gets you a nice box. The nice box means fixed capacity. |

I just use USB3 external hard drives. They're cheaper and easy to |

interface. USB3 also has been less likely to give me ATA interface |
| 12 |
errors compared to SATA. |

Not that one, but USB3-SATA interfaces exist and aren't that |
| 19 |
expensive. You can also get nice little enclosures. You can have as |

many hard drives as you want on a PC that way, or whatever the USB3 |
| 21 |
limit is. |
