I'm planning on getting a Mini PC as a minimal "homelab" to be able to play around with virtualization/proxmox and run a few media servers, as well as setup some proper redundant storage for my photo library (which I would backup to a remote location automatically) and a growing collection of 4k HDR movies that I would like to stream with Jellyfin to my TV over LAN (only 1 stream at a time).
I've been stuck on planning the storage setup, however. I've seen arguments both in favor and against getting a separate NAS for storage and setup an NFS share with the Mini PC, as opposed to getting a DAS enclosure to attach to the Mini PC via USB.
Pros:
- Dedicated server for storage, won't lose dat
