For NAS getting something used from someone upgrading to something bigger on eBay is often a good route. Just be absolutely sure the model being sold meets your needs. Do you plan to run software on it for instance? Check what it can comfortably run first.
For drives. Server part deals always has good prices. I’d recommend only buying the ones with 1-3 year seller or manufacturer warranty though which is most of them. Easily half the price per TB you find most places. $150 gets you 14TB there.
I think this is good advice.
NAS is not a product for normies, so there doesn't seem to be huge demand on the secondhand market. So that works out better for buyers and you can usually pick up a pretty great deal secondhand.
