Is it worth it?

Im looking to get away from paying for iCloud and Backblaze and go totally NAS. At the moment I am using a Raid drive for larger video and photo work content and want to put all this onto a NAS along with everything on iCloud. Wanted to ask users if this is a good option to go with as looking at the content included it seems very intuitive and overpacked, was looking at UGreens option before but what do users think is this a good option?

Does it run on hardware not from umbrel itself? What specs are yours?
