Dedicated NAS or Nextcloud server for home lab?
Dedicated NAS or Nextcloud server for home lab?
I'm looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I'm looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I'd also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I'd also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.
So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

I'm running TrueNAS Scale and have nextcloud, pihole and jellyfin all running flawlessly as docker containers. They have a hardware compatibility list if you want to reduce/prevent flakeyness in your setup.
