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.
