Hi Revscene,

I am looking for recommendations for a network attached storage (NAS) product or solution at home.

I have a modem/router capable of USB 3.0 and it has a function to act as a NAS. What I am simply trying to do is to offload close to 50GB of music and photos from my laptop to some sort of NAS and have the media available on other devices such as a phone, tablet, other laptops, stereo system, and Raspberry Pi.

I've considered picking up a cheap backup drive from Costco or BestBuy, but I don't know if this will do the job, unless I am overthinking this. I've seen some dedicated NAS products but I feel they are more than what I need, unless I am wrong. Any advice/experience is appreciated. Thanks!
