I’m interested in turning my Raspberry Pi into a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and would appreciate some guidance on the best way to achieve this.

Specifically, I’m looking for advice on:

Software Options: What are the most reliable software solutions for setting up NAS on a Raspberry Pi? I’ve heard about OpenMediaVault and Samba—any recommendations or tips on these or other options?
Hardware Requirements: Are there any specific hardware components or configurations needed to optimize performance for NAS? For instance, should I use an external USB drive or SSD?
Configuration Tips: What are some best practices for configuring the network settings and managing file permissions to ensure smooth and secure access?
Troubleshooting: Are there common issues or troubleshooting steps to be aware of when setting up and using a Raspberry Pi as a NAS?
