<p><p>This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost

more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also

offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it.

And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not

worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.
