Hello. Which OS and file format should I install on my 2 DIY home NASs. Main consideration is to easily put the hard disk to another NAS if the hardware can't be repaired. I'm not keen to have RAID features as I will just backup.

1st NAS 6 bays hotswap: i7 5675c 4c8t,16gb ram

Main storage for home
Home streaming 720 or 1080p media
turned on as needed

2nd NAS mini itx: i3 7100 2c4t, 8gb ram

Backup storage for home
Planning to do dual boot windows and the OS in question so I can still use at as standard computer.
turned on as needed

I already have an Intel NUC, i5 8259u, 16gb ram

Mini storage
10 to 16hr/day operation
dockers

I'm familiar with proxmox and omv. What's also your take with windows server 2019 (I've got it for free)?
