I don’t know what I actually need. But I have about 35tb of video spread across 2 WD external hard drives, 20tb each. I’m looking to use it mainly as a plex/infuse server. I’d only use it in my home. And would likely power it down most of the time.

id like to buy a system, but I don’t know what I’d need. Ideally, I’d like to buy something that’s got redundancy so if a drive fails, I’d still have the data. And I’d just swap the bad drive with a new one.

i don’t know if I need a NAS, DAS, or another pc. I’d like to control it with a Mac. And I’d like simplicity. I’m not the most tech savvy person, although I can search to troubleshoot.

id buy the main unit, hopefully under $500. And a drive or two every month. Any suggestions? Again, I’d like this setup to run on a Mac. i certainly know windows, and I have a windows laptop I whip out for windows stuff. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
