It's A Digital Disease!

Hi everyone, first time posting here and I plan on putting this together over the summer/fall.

I picked up this enclosure from a local wholesaler for under $400, it came with 2 1500w PSU’s, front/rear backplanes, and all the drive caddies. I‘m looking for an intel build that’s going to start at ~140tb and grow to maybe 450 in the long run? I plan on purchasing in batches of ~10 drives as I scale. I read a lot about going the LSI 9000 route. I don’t plan on using it for any insane intensive loads but the usual store as I go; maybe put homeassistant on it but I already have another machine that’s handling this. Should I go TrueNAS Scale or Unraid.

My goal for this server is for it to be a long term storage solution and for pulling recorded video. I have a little over 30tb of data currently stored in two different systems. They’re not network accessible and usb connection isn‘t ideal to me in the long run. Recommendations on getting this build started would be great.

Link to the box I got.
