Choosing the best NAS for your home is primarily driven by the price of enclosures. These little server units can start at affordable prices, but when you factor in upgraded internals, features like M.2 slots, and upgradable RAM, you can quickly see the price spiral out of control. The second-most important factor in the decision-making for a NAS enclosure is the number of drive bays.
The higher the number of bays, the more drives you could install, and the more capacity you can have for storing all your stuff. Generally, you'll want to steer clear on single-bay NAS enclosures because you want to have at least two drives installed for a RAID configuration to be acceptable. RAID is a redundancy measure that makes sure if one drive fails, you'll not lose any data.
