Any recommended products for Network Attached Storage?
Hoping to set up a general location to throw files.
It might be used as a storage dump for Plex too..
Recommendations?
Edit: the synology recommendations have won out. Went with the DS923+. Thanks for all of the thoughtful recommendations!

I recommend Unraid. Especially if you want to host a bunch of dockers as well.
Minor nit here - “docker containers” or just “containers” because “dockers” are pants.
3rd world idiot here. Docker pants like in clothes, was in a mall when I read your comment earlier and I spent a fair bit of time thinking up a response to your comment, but the joke's on me. Just installed requestrr in a minute from the gui in unraid. For some of us, this is awesome. I used to run a Fedora 14 samba server for many years, slowly working my way up to 17 or 18 until my initial partition (bad) choices made me look for something else. Can't remember how long it is now, but my same Unraid server has been running for ever. Drives growing, motherboard changing, ram & cpu upgrading along the way. Yes, it costs 70 dollars or something up front, but in time and energy saved for me, it has been an amazing ride.
Containers are such a game changer for how I manage my apps and their dependencies. Love how I can try things out in a container, nuke it and start over, knowing I have a clean environment. I hate installing anything on my native host OS install these days if I can help it.
Yep. Crazy how quick they install and reboot. In the case of the RR apps with the way they communicate over a shared file system is powerful.
