Awesome videos! My first NAS, for home server for all important docs, family photos and videos from all sources - scanned, digital cameras and camcorders, cell phones, starting to digitize old VHS-C home videos. I assemble collections and slideshows of vacations, etc., just starting some simple video editing for this purpose. Needing HDMI capability to connect and watch on TV. Noise may be a consideration since it will be right there. Would want to be accessible to family members in other locations to view, would want to restrict access to invited people only, further restrict access to financial docs to my wife and self. Current data is about 1TB but expecting to grow, especially videos. I am thinking 2 bay in RAID 1 config, with some backup ability (external drive? not excited about cloud). $500 is NAS only, might stretch a little, realize I need disks also, would consider SSD. Thank you!
