I do photography as hobby and have few external HDDs and SSDs filled up with totaling to about 8TB of data. Hence looking for a long term option with NAS with double the storage (16TB) to begin with. This would be only for home usage and I do not have plans for any photography business.
I'm a fairly technical person with software development background. Building a NAS solution would be a fun project for me. Hence looking for some advice to build a DIY NAS..
Mainly looking for suggestion for minimum 4Bay enclosure. With additional option SSD, 8GB RAM. Would like to have an HDMI output in motherboard so that can avoid extra GPU.
Budget is around $500 including RAM. Initially I'm thinking to start with two 16-20 TB HDD from Seagate or WD.. And would expand in future as per need.
Looking forward to some advice to start on the components listing. Thank you!
