The appeal of building your own Network attached storage device (NAS) rather than buy a pre-built unit from a top-tier brand like Synology can be very tempting. The hardware using in the majority of Synology NAS devices is pretty low when compared to PC’s and with pre-built NAS devices often having pricetags noticeably higher than those of buying a CPU, Motherboard, Memory, PSU and case individually – the appeal to build your own NAS is very high indeed. The big selling factor of Synology NAS is their software – DiskStation Manager (DSM) and it’s many applications, versatility and user-friendly build interface (as well as a big pile of free mobile applications). Synology do not let users buy their software separately from their hardware and this means that users have to make a choice between saving money on the NAS hardware or spending more on a Synology and getting the software. However what if there was another way? A way to install the Synology DSM software on your custom built PC? Thanks to Xpenology, this is now possible.
