I just bought a Jonsbo N1 from Newegg and I want to make an 80TB-100TB NAS to edit raw 6K video right out of it on Davinci Resolve. (2GB to 15GB per clip)
I've read that 10GBE is a good idea for future proofing, but I'm not sure how this can benefit me right now since all I have at home is a Verizon Wi-Fi 6 router and my PC has a X570i Mobo with (2.5) Intel Gigabit Ethernet & Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) (No more expandability on the Mobo, since the only PCIE port has my Graphics Card)
I've also read that ECC RAM may be benefitial for this, not really sure how, since I'm ignorant on the subject of NAS & ECC.
I'm planning to buy 5 x 20TB WD Red Pro drives, since sometimes I find them for $350 a piece and they are CMR drives, which are supposed to be faster and more suitable for my purposes.

Requirements:
- Mini-ITX
- Speed & Total Storage are a priority over parity
- Fast Read-Write Speeds
- 2x 10GB Lan Ports
- 4 x ECC Compatible DDR4 DIMM slots (rather than 2 as on standard Mini Itx Mobos)
- Included EPYC 3101 4 cores, 4 threads processor with Heatsink
- 6 SATA Ports in total 4 x Oculink port + 2 x SATAIII ports (instead of 4 like regular Mini Itx Mobos)
- u/poipoipoi also added an Ableconn Dual PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Adapter Card with 2 x 1TB NVMe for write cache + 1 x 512GB NVMe on the Mobo for Read Cache
Questions:
- Is 64GB of RAM enough for 80TB-100TB?
- Is ECC really necessary?
- Is WIP exclusively managed by the cache drives if I proper configure TrueNAS/UnRaid?
- Is 10GB LAN really necessary for editing 6K raw video files? (2GB to 15GB per clip)
- Are CMR drives better for my purpose than SMR drives?
- Is this 4 core/threads EPYC 3101 a good option or will a 6c/12t Ryzen achieve more performance?
- If I do a setup similar to u/poipoipoi, should I add an additional 2.5" SSD for a bootable drive?
- Or can a caching/storage drive be used as a bootable drive?
