This is an amazing offer!
I'm technically savvy, so I'm fine with the CLI or tinkering.
Use case:
+ Photo / Video storage (no fancy AI, no sharing, no editing, no remote access)
+ Normal document storage, occasional editing in-place
Requirements:
+ Easy to set up
+ Low maintenance
+ Easy to swap out drives if needed
+ iOS apps and preferably can use the Files app
+ Must be accessible and mount-able from Macs and Linux easily, preferably without any extra drivers
Nice to have in terms of priority:
+ De-duplication
+ Snapshot / file versioning
+ Support for 3rd party storage providers using an S3 API, rclone, or rsync
+ Encryption
+ Virtualization
+ Accessible to Plex-type players (does not need to host Plex app)
Storage:
+ 4TB but grows slowly. ~500GB/year.
The Nice to have section is really nice to have, it's perfectly fine if the available hardware don't support any of that.
