    No sane NAS should work that way.

    Unless you have a giant raid array, where you need all the drives running at the same time on the same system, plugging in a single raid 1 member, for example, via usb to sata adapter, should let you access its contents just fine.

    Provided you’re on an OS that can read the file system. That can require some extra effort on windows.

    But yeah. Beware of the pre-built NASes. The vendor lock-in is real.











  • A part of it is concern.

    System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.

    It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.
