Hi,
I'm planning to build my first NAS build, it would be great if you could give me some feedback:
I have around 2TB "important data" to backup from 6 devices. The clients (Notebook, Tablet, Mobilephone, Workstation, IOT) will save the data on the NAS box (sftp, smb, nextcloud) which i will backup daily to cloud (not yet decided if zfs send or borgbackup+rsync+wasabi).
The 2TB don't include media, so I expect to add more storage very fast (at the moment I'm favoring mirror vdevs instead of raidz2, faster resilvering, easier to upgrade). I want to stream the media (I guess at the beginning around 1-2TB) through Plex to 6 devices (appletv,firestick,rasperrypi..) there will be probably never be more than 2 transcoded streams at the same time.
Connectivity:
Unfortunately most devices are connected only through AC WiFI and the other GbE so thats the limiting factor. In the future I want to connect my workstation directly through 10GbE to the NAS.
Work:
The build is way too overkill for only streaming, however I would like to play around with VM's (Plex, Hass, ELK Stack, Mailserver, nextcloud, some backtesting...).
Thank you very much!
