Building an inexpensive “NAS”

I have too many computers and they all have disks or SSDs to store my stuff. It’s a pain to keep the versions in order. But it’s easier if you can keep only one copy and all the computers can see it. If you have some old external hard-disks and can spare $35 for a Raspberry Pi single board computer, it’s easy to build a “Network Attached Storage” (NAS) . It serves files up to any computer. For example it’s now the place that I keep my music library and it serves my tunes up to my Raspberry Pi streaming computer attached to my stereo. Go here and scroll to the bottom for more detail and instructions on how to build.
