How much does it cost to set up a NAS?

A NAS that deals with a lot of multimedia files will cost you at least $500, and that does not include the size of the hard drives, which can cost anywhere from $50-$200. Nevertheless, when compared to the recurring costs associated with a cloud drive, the savings are not insignificant.

Is network-attached storage worth it?

It protects your data and syncs your data from your devices so you have a copy. NAS devices often have redundancy and allows for a second copy of your data to be made in case a hard disk fails – something that does not happen with single drive external hard drives. A disaster-proof NAS is even better.

Does a NAS need a monitor?

Yup. You only need a monitor for the initial set up, and then only again if you have a kernel panic, or hardware (other than hard drives) breaks. FreeNAS uses a web GUI for administration.
