Greetings y'all!
I'm pleased to join this community.
I'm an IT professional looking to setup a NAS at home so I can store my sensitive data in encrypted form without relying totally on cloud data storage providers (might still back up encrypted data to GDrive, etc.). I don't have a whole lot of networking / hardware expertise (I work on enterprise software) so this is going to be a good journey for me.

Just bought 2x8TB HGST Deskstar and 2x8TB WD Red (WD8EFAX, shucked from WD easyStore) for a total of 4x8 TB drives. Looking to setup FreeNAS on a lightweight system (AMD A8 embedded mobo, 8-16 gb non-ECC DDR3/1333) for now, upgrading once I become confident on the software side of things.
