Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with your previous hard drives. It sounds like transitioning to a NAS setup is a wise move for your data storage needs.
Considering your requirements and budget, the Flashtor 6 appears to be a suitable option for your home setup. It offers the performance benefits of SSD storage and should provide a reliable solution for storing your movies, photos, documents, and other data.
When choosing NVMe SSDs for caching in your NAS setup, it's essential to prioritize reliability, especially considering the high volume of read and write operations involved in caching. You'll want to look at reliability ratings such as DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).
Here are a few NVMe SSD options to consider for caching in your Flashtor 6, along with their DWPD ratings:
Samsung 970 Pro: 0.66 DWPD
Samsung 990 Pro: 0.68 DWPD
Synology SNV3400: 0.68 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 510: 0.7 DWPD
Seagate IronWolf 525: 0.7 DWPD
Seagate Firecuda 530: 0.7 DWPD
Seagate PS5 Game Drive: 0.7 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 520: 0.9 DWPD
WD Red SN700: 1.0 DWPD
These SSDs offer varying levels of durability and performance, so it's crucial to choose one that best fits your specific needs and budget. Aim for models with a DWPD rating of 0.5 or above to ensure reliability in caching scenarios.
