So a friend recently asked me to recommend them a NAS, they're currently using their gaming PC but their wife gets annoyed when they're doing an update or something and can't watch 'their Netflix' (Jellyfin).

So I've seen the small 4-bay Synology / QNAP type stuff we will use at work for a small local backup solution and thought great cheap little solution... And they're entry level stuff is like AU$800! Because I've been looking at a little N100 system, that and a nice NAS Case would run me under AU$500, and it would be way more capable etc.

So what's between a cheap DIY NAS and a pre-built system? Because if I build something for them, I'm going to be maintaining that thing for the rest of my life!

So they don't need a whole lot of processing power they'd probably want like 2 Jellyfin streams, most likely just direct play but transcoding is wanted. 4 drives is probably enough. An I missing some part of the market?
