How does one get a NAS without spending an arm and leg these days? I started pirating because I was broke, I don’t have triple digits to spend on hardware.

An old PC with a bunch of hard drives (they shouldn't be NAS drives necessarily) + TrueNas. The main cost will be the hard drives which is about 20$/TB

$20/TB is a bad deal.

You can get WD Red Pro’s on sale twice a year for $16/TB.

Further you can order unused data center and enterprise drives for anything from $11-$16/TB and those things are built to take way more use and abuse than home users can throw at them.

I would not pay above $17/TB for traditional magnetic spinning disk storage.
