I doubt many are looking for 8-bay DAS, anything larger than 4-bay you are probably better off with NAS. Many DAS have limited RAID support, which can make having more drives more risky.
I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.
But i already have a computer that works well enough, isnt it a waste to completly replace it with a nas?
The NAS will have a lower power consumption.
That would replace the computer with the NAS though and is not true for a server that you'd want to extend, right?
What? I don’t follow sorry
No worries I phrased that quite weird I think.
A NAS is only more power efficient if the additional power of a full server is not used. If for some reason the server is still needed than the NAS will be additional power consumption and not save anything.
(for example I run some quite RAM and compute heavy things on my server which no stock NAS could handle I think).
