6 reasons I regret going with a budget NAS

I had a rather humble start with my first NAS. I wanted something that could store my work files, backup my family photos, and maybe help me stream some media using Plex — nothing fancy. It was supposed to be a basic system that didn’t burn a hole in my pocket. So, I shopped around and went with the NAS system that met my bare minimum needs and didn’t cost a bomb. It looked like a sensible choice then, even for a few months afterward.
