Rescued the drives from the trash, all functional, less than 1 year old. I am looking to set up a multimedia server and NAS, but I need hardware suggestions. Looking to keep the spend here under $600. The synology drive bays are giving me some sticker shock. Was planning on using TrueNas.

Just buy a used computer off craigslist, a sata expander if needed, a boot drive and install TrueNAS. Can be as much as 600 or as little as 200.
