    openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.

    Synology NAS is a decent choice when you know for sure that it is capable to deliver the required performance. Another route is building your own home server based on Dell/HP/Lenovo mini-towers. Those mini servers can be used for anything, including virtualization, file storage, etc. In that case, you are not limited to the NAS solution and can install and use XPenology https://xpenology.org/ if you want to have Synology user experience or alternative solutions like Openmediavault, https://www.openmediavault.org/, Starwinds SAN & NAS https://www.starwindsoftware.com/san-and-nas-free In terms of power consumption, it is all about the load. With an efficient CPU, you can limit the consumption when the system is idle, but with a slow CPU, you won't be able to run the system much faster.
