NAS/DAS For Remote Video Editing

#1
I want to either build or buy my first NAS. I want it to be good for mastering video and sound projects as my business relies heavily on these two services. I provide videography services to businesses and musicians and I am also making online video courses.

I would like the system to be redundant and a good backup solution for all my data. I currently have 12TB of data floating around on multiple drives. So I definitely want to use something like RAID 5 or RAID 6.

I feel like 24TB is a good amount for future proofing , but I would like the option to expand.

And I would like the highest specs as far as processing, video RAM, and RAM. A mixture of HDD and SSD would be nice, but if not, I would prioritize speed.

I use DaVinci Resolve and I would like to host my own project server on the NAS.

I’ve built a PC before and I’m decently tech savvy. I wouldn’t mind spending the time to learn all about it because the knowledge will be valuable as I choose solutions in the future. Thanks!
