Thanks for the reply @ed
Meanwhile, I made my decision, and I am going for 6 bay version.
Next decision to make was harder, going for 4x 500GB M.2 drives or 1TB drives, if I look into my needs, I only need the NAS for Plex and some document-photo back-ups, 2 of those drives will be utilized as cache and 2 other drives for RAW storage for the document back-ups.
Watched a lot of videos and read a lot of information, and I am leaning towards 4x 500GB, since I don't need huge caching and fast storage for Plex and 500GB is more than enough for ADM and some documents.
Drives will be WD Red SN700 NVMe, speeds are more than sufficient for AS6706T, it is still not clear if AS6706T has PCI-e 3.0 x1 or PCI-e 3.0 x4, even if it has x4 the SN700 will be enough.
Price difference between (4x) 500GB and 1TB drives is around €90, but everything adds up, so far I am above €2000 which was my target budget for all.
If you guys advice to get 4x 1TB drives, I will go for that, otherwise 4x 500GB looks like enough.
