Based on your requirements, your plan to repurpose an old PC with an i7 3770k and 16GB DDR3 RAM for a NAS is a cost-effective approach. To start with 6TB of storage, the choice of 2x WD Red Pro WD6003FFBX drives in a RAID 1 configuration is solid for data redundancy. It ensures your data's safety even if one drive fails. Additionally, the TS-464-8G Qnap NAS is a suitable choice as it's a well-rounded solution for small businesses, offering features like file storage, backup, and easy accessibility.
Incorporating the QSW-2104-2T switch aligns well with your setup, allowing for efficient network connectivity. With a budget of 1000 euros, your plan appears reasonable and capable of meeting your initial needs. Keep in mind that as your business grows, you might need to consider expanding storage and possibly upgrading the NAS, but this setup should serve you well for now. Best of luck with your small business endeavors!
