Thank you!This looks like a great build and an excellent selection of components. Even if you choose to run Plex in the future if you set it up with your local clients so that they all are direct play CPU horsepower doesn't come into play.
This build should be a blueprint for a solid DIY home NAS. Good on you @glauco for doing your homework in component selection.
I did my homework because I want this NAS to run reliably for at least 5 years from now without having to worry about the integrity of my data. A 6-HDD RaidZ2 pool and an offsite backup to my ancient Synology DS211j will serve this purpose.
Soon I'm going to add prices to the parts in my first post so that readers can rule in or out specific parts based on their price.
