I wanna get a NAS for backing up my files and maybe storing some shows and movies I have downloaded. Is it worth it to get a purpose built NAS or is slapping FreeNAS on a used optiplex easy enough? Also is there a big difference in power draw?

    I've been considering doing that as well while also putting them on tor as hidden services so i can ssh in and do upkeep. Just a thought right now tho. Not sure what that would do to the power draw and speed of the pi.
