Don't lie, there's a steep learning curve if you plan on using at least half of the tools

So far I've only had one issue that has stuck with me. Rebooted the next morning and it's been running ever since. Very fast if you can use the 2.5Gbps LAN port. By bundling 2 network adapters on my computer, I overcame Gbps file transfer speeds by moving files to them. The thing is definitely a streamer. Unfortunately, Asus' built-in video server isn't up to the task, but there are several other options with Jellyfin that are free and very easy to set up. I looked at 20-30 NAS models and this one worked best for me. Combined with two mirrored 10TB data center drives, I should be able to last for many years.
