 When you decide to dive into the adventure of running your own home server, the same questions usually come up: _“Where should I start?”_, _“Isn’t it expensive?”_. And often, people either give up or end up buying a proprietary NAS that they’ll throw away a year later once they realize it only brings headaches and wasted money.

-A server isn’t a piece of furniture. It’s simply any computer capable of running Linux.That’s why mini PCs powered by **Intel N100** processors are so popular: for around $100–130 on Chinese platforms, you can get a machine that runs **24/7** for years, capable of handling everything you’d expect from a home server or personal cloud without sacrificing performance.

 It’s **objectively inexpensive**, and anyone with a bit of curiosity can get started.

 A mini PC for $100 + a USB dock for $50 that holds multiple hard drives = a complete platform for $150, versus **$350–1200** for branded NAS systems.

-That’s all a **ProloNAS** is. It’s then up to you to scale your storage capacity according to your needs.
+That’s all a **ProloNAS** is: a NAS anyone can afford. The name is a French pun, *prolo* (slang for "working-class") plus *NAS*, a home server for the rest of us, not just people who can drop $1000 on a branded box. It’s then up to you to scale your storage capacity according to your needs.

 ## Why a NAS?

-A **NAS** (Network Attached Storage) is a machine centered around storage, designed to be shared over a network.The idea is to have a **reliable and secure** storage space that serves as the backbone for your personal services and apps such as a self-hosted cloud like [Nextcloud](/serveex/cloud/nextcloud), a photo sync tool like [Immich](/serveex/cloud/immich), or a media server like [Jellyfin](/serveex/media/jellyfin). You can also store camera footage, backups, or even development projects on it.

 ### But why not just use a mini PC with an external hard drive?

-Sure, a simple mini PC with 1–2 TB of storage will do for most people.And your movie collection might fit on an external drive of a few extra terabytes. But that’s **neither reliable nor scalable** a single shock or hardware failure could permanently destroy your data.

 A real NAS is built around **storage reliability**. It uses redundancy strategies like [RAID](/general/storage/raid) to protect against drive failure, and snapshot systems like [ZFS](/general/storage/zfs) to guard against corruption.
