I'm looking to buy a no frills used 4 bay NAS - to run 3 disk RAID 5 on with some 12TB drives.

I'm also open to building my own with a mini-ITX build that can take 3 3.5" disks.

Anything out there? Budget is on the lower side.

I've got a spare HP Gen 8 Microserver $350 (4 bays), has been sitting for a year I will need to check it still boots fine.

Just to give an idea of the budget, I could get an ITX board with a 4th/5th gen i5 for less than $100 and put it into a mini tower or ITX case. So, ideally it should be less than $200.

I've got an old QNAP 4 bay with an Intel Chipset. I no longer have a power supply, but it did work last time I powered it up. You're welcome to it for the cost of shipping and a 6 pack of craft beer.

I could be interested if OP does not accept.
