I’m new to setting up this type of solution and would appreciate any help.
I planned to buy a NAS, but I had parts to build a second PC and heard building would be cheaper.
I’ve built the PC using space parts:
• 9950X CPU (I sent in an old CPU to AMD under warranty and they sent me back this one)
• RTX 2080
• 64GB DDR5 RAM
• 512GB NVMe SSD
I’m undecided about the NAS OS, but I’m considering UnRAID or TrueNAS, any other options I’m open to.
I’m thinking of buying manufacturer-refurbished drives from Severpartdeals.com, based on positive reviews.
For my HDD bay, I’m considering the QNAP TL-D800C 8-Bay Desktop JBOD Storage Enclosure with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Connectivity.

My goal is to have 25-45 terabytes of workable data, assuming each project takes about 300-500GB.
I need fast and redundant RAID.
Ideally, I would want to add drives as my company grows to increase workable editing space.
I’ll have an editor working off 720p proxies that will access the RAID in another state.
My internet speed is fiber 1Gig up, 1Gig down, but I can usually get 1.5Gig up/down. I can upgrade to 5Gig speeds if needed.
My home is wired with Cat 6, and I’ve fully implemented 2.5GB Switcher Access Points with 2.5GB ports.
