SFF-8088 bottleneck for QNAP TL-D1600S ?

#1
I'm looking to add a large media server to my home network.

A dedicated 16-bay NAS, like the QNAP TVS-h1688X would have been perfect at 2,000 USD, but as its currently selling for 3,000 USD that's a hard no for me.

To save costs, I'm thinking of a TrueNAS Scale system, based on a QNAP TL-D1600S and a Minisforum MS-01 workstation.

I have no doubt that with 96GB of DDR5, the MS-01 would do great managing 2/3 ZFS vdevs. My main concern is the connection between the PC and the JBOD. I'm not familiar with SAS and SFF-8088 cables.

1) What's more important for a media server - latency or throughput?
2) What would be the bottleneck of this system - SFF-8088 cables, OS overhead, or maybe something completely different?

Thanks in advance,
Arjestin
