Hey, so I am planning on making a Ugreen or another nas console home movie server/streaming service for myself. An I was wondering a few things:
1.If I were to get a set up, should I run 2 2.5 SSDs as my main storage units and have 2 standard 3.5 drives as the back ups? Or vice versus? A with the write 1 time and read 1000+ times, will this cause the SSDs to ware down to where I might as well just use a 3.5 standard? Or would I be fine with SSDs as the main, since reading compared to writing causes so much less ware on the drive?
2.For a movie server, would it matter if they are standard drives or NAS drives? Because I’m looking between WD black and WD red and WD blue and can’t decide which is the best. 🤔
Edit:yes I did search the site beforehand but haven’t found a definitive answer on either the drive type and WD drive types.
Edit 2:•Software I’m gona run:jellyfin or plex, •hardware:might be an intel PC or either Ugreen/synology/terramaster NAS with the sliding drive bays •Storage:Thinking at least 2 main drives and 2 for redundancy/ back up and the size of each at least 8TB akin to what I posted above and my questions.
