n00b question, sorry. If I had a desktop that could hold 4 HD and 2 SSD, could I turn it into a NAS? Could someone point me in the right direction if this makes sense?

+1 for unRAID. I did the same when I got tired of Netflix increasing prices while dropping content. Also got annoyed with my cable because it's expensive and good content is rare.

Bought a 12th gen i5 desktop on sale and 4 x 10Tb drives and installed unRAID on a USB key.

Easiest thing I've done in years and it's 100x better than Netflix and 1000x better than cable.
