NAS Build check: Should I change anything before I pull the trigger?

Look at the attached picture for the full NAS build.

Hi,

I realize this might be overkill from the start, but please feel free to critique it and suggest any changes.

I’ve spent a couple of days researching, and this is what I’ve come up with. I do have a background in networking and electronics, but I haven’t specifically built a NAS before. I plan on using this NAS for the following purposes:

  • A home media server for streaming movies and series both locally and remotely.
  • Cloud storage to replace OneDrive and similar services.
  • Encoding and digitizing physical movie copies.
  • Frequent access to files used for coding and changelogs, with daily project backups.
