Should i build a NAS or just buy one? And if yes, what OS should i run on it?

Build your own, and use FreeBSD.
You won't regret it.
Get a cheap used HP Microserver and run Freenas like a real white man

He's a frog poster so he should probably just buy one.
I've wondered for a long time, what do you use to build with more drives than your server has ports? Is the method to fill out the PCI bus with HBAs which will expand the number of ports you have available? Is that it or is there something else?
