I'm curious about the advantages of using a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for someone just starting out. What are some interesting use cases for it? Also, how can I set one up without breaking the bank? I'm looking for portable options as well! Feel free to share any tips or additional questions you may have.

A NAS is fantastic for backups! For instance, I have mine set up with my Proxmox server where it stores all my backups. Setting up a NAS can be really straightforward—just use a simple Linux distribution like Debian or Ubuntu, and create SMB shares. It's a great way to centralize your data!
I've heard of Proxmox but didn't know it was popular! Is it free to use?
