I was running plex and immich on a mini PC with external hard drive, however that's now run out of room due to too many photos. Looking to extend the storage capacity and update to DAS box but DAS box is $500 plus the HDD. NAS is $1100 plus HDD. Should i just bite the bullet and spend the extra on the NAS solution ? (looking at Ugreen DXP4800 plus V orico 9848RU3 4 bay). Just runining Plex and Immich and not really planning on much else at this stage.

The mini PC meets my needs in terms of buffering.
