Best drives for storage and media

[Enquiries]

I want fast access, will also use to store short videos of street events. I have a movie library 80 movies and growing. I have a 4 bay NAS but only want 3 dives in the raid config. I have a 10 TB drive, can I add three 8 TB drives and setup raid 5 and only use 8TB from the 10 TB drive. I want to have an isolated 2 tb secret drive. Is this possible and what do you recommend for the disk drives for fast access with me using Plex to show my movies.

I suggest considering NAS devices from the plus series, such as DS420+ and DS423+, which come equipped with a quad-core Celeron processor. These devices support RAID 5 configuration across three drives and offer a separate volume for one drive. Additionally, they come with a transcoding chip that facilitates the smooth streaming of movies.
You can use WD Red plus, Ironwolf drives. And some people even use Purple drive on tits own for CCTV. Or SSD for editing or media.

I hope this helps.
