I bought the 4 bay Ugreen NAS on the kick Starter and still have not loaded it. Can that NAS be used as a DAS for my Mac mini M1? It it silly to do so? I have no desire to watch movies away from my home. Should I sell this and get a DAS? As you can tell I know nothing about NAS or DAS.

Thank you!!!

It seems like you're trying to decide between using a NAS or DAS for your media storage needs. The Ugreen NAS you purchased can indeed be used as a DAS, but it would require specific configurations or software to connect directly to your Mac mini M1. NAS devices are typically more flexible for network access, while DAS is usually faster for direct connections.
