I just have a Synology with 4 drives. Super basic and was very easy to set up and takes up very little space in a closet. I mount it to my Ubuntu server using samba, and then any data processing that needs to be done on that data (e.g. plex, music server, etc.) is done on the server, which is much more powerful than the little Celeron CPU that the Synology has.
