Is there such a thing as NAS without a stupid fucking web interface I have to connect to if I want to watch videos or get my files?
Ideally, I'd like to just have a NAS drive appear as a normal external drive on my computer, but I don't know if this is even possible, since every NAS manufacturer loves to advertise their web interface, as if they're not all bloat and total shite.

Yes you idiot
just set up a fucking samba server
Very possible
That's aesthetic as fuck. Why can't Linux developers make something as pretty as that?
You could even probably just install regular debian over the current drive mobo, but you'd have to compile a kernel because muh proprietary drivers
Making network resources look like a local drive is a super, super bad idea.
windows only lets you make it look like a network drive anyway.

Thankfully, Synology is not as bad as they once were. OP, you'll be able to pretty easily map whatever NAS you buy directly to a networked drive from within the web client and never have to look at it again.
They used to. Then flatshit happened.

Al of these ui's can look (and some of them look by default) like this
Stop being a fucking trolling nigger
just put fucking debian on it or some shit and configure ftp or sftp or some shit for your NAS, its not that hard
Yeah dude you can just set up samba shares
>implying that NAS isn't running Linux
Dis
False.
Its gonna be BSD u twerp
Window Server 2016
>normal external drive on my computer,
iSCSI Target Server which Windows Server supports
>Making network resources look like a local drive is a super, super bad idea.
Its done all the time you retard. What the fuck do you think the sole purpose of a SAN is? Also Windows Server supports fail over clusters so even if you have to reboot for an update, you dont lose access to the SMB shares or the iSCSI LUNs.
Ew, IT talk. Go grab me a coffee
Go drink some bleach, you dumb fucking shit stain.
>raspberry pi
>NAS
This.
Setup samba server and then just map network drive.
>Making network resources look like a local drive is a super, super bad idea.
What are you smoking?
It's a fucking standard feature of all major operating systems.
I don't understand why someone would buy an overpriced shit box for a weak NAS. Those kind of prices you can grab an old Xeon or i7 workstation (soon AMD Ryzen as well) that will perform the same functions much better and it scales. Install a real OS like NT server or Nix and be about your day. Nix also has quite a few noob friendly options like freenas unraid and greyhole.

note: most of the time this is just an inconvinience, as this would mean you can only safely access the disk(s) from one machine at a time
Are you honestly this retarded?

Use DAS.
Are you literally fucking retarded? What do you think a NAS is?
Yeah, because having worse throughput than a 90s 5400rpm drive makes me all nostalgic.
(/s)
>NT server
Dude, the 90s ended a while ago
Build your own, prebuilt NASes are a fucking scam.
It's a linux distro called DSM using busybox retard.
I just use sshfs. Secure and excellent.
Slow, incompatible.
>incompatible
... ?
even my router supports ssh
I still use NT server 2012 on my VPS :^)
Windows doesn't.
This, also
>calling a multi-purpose server "NAS"
pls
It's not that slow, user. I stream 1080p anime over it.
If it's got a low power CPU, no expansion slots, only really good for serving files and loading HDDs I call it a NAS.
it might be the only thing that doesn't come with ssh support
there are third party tools for it on windows
It's a shame too.
Do you also run Novell Netware? I do ;^).
Last I checked win-sshfs still works.
>no ssh key authentication
Dropped.
>It's a shame too.
Yeah, i honestly wish i could go back sometimes.
Then i remember what a pain in the ass it could be.
I've had a LaCie NAS for some good 10 years or so and it appears as an external drive in the file browser
