Still learning about NAS servers in general, but I'm potentially looking to build my first NAS though I'm still not sure of some of the finer details; I'm quite familiar with hardware but not so much on the software.
All I want to do is have a storage server for all my video work and general backups, but I have poor internet at my parents house and want to avoid a network bottleneck as much as possible in the meantime. It seems on typical NAS units it is possible to connect directly into a device via ethernet using it's IP address, but is this possible to achieve on a DIY NAS through HexOS?
Was considering HexOS because it seemed easy to use for a noob like me with minimal compromise and the ability to expand my storage capacity fairly easily, but bouldn't find anything regarding whether it's even possible to do a direct ethernet connection from desktop to desktop.
