Assistance in determining a solid all-around NAS setup for growing family

#1
Newly venturing into NAS territory for 4-member family, allowing our growth with look at our current device list and my newbie thoughts below. After review of 2022/2023 best picks article, I find myself a little on the fence about which I should choose and why. I'm open to any feedback/suggestion with my main newbie question being: Do NAS box systems price WITH hard drives for storage, or must the drives be purchased individually?
Devices (all pc, unless stated otherwise): One family desktop PC, 3 laptops, 2 iPad tablets, Ps5, Nintendo Switch, 2 iPhones (in another few years, will have need to support 4 mobile phones).

Thoughts on NAS storage structure: 6-Bay NAS, filled solely by SSDs broken down as follows:
1 Master (largest capacity drive - for receiving backups from the other 5). This drive would then back up to Cloud Storage.
1 Security cam/system (planned future install)
1 Misc. saves (word, excel, scans, etc..)
1 Music files
1 Familty photo/video
1 General computer backup
