Thank you for all of the information you continue to share. I currently have a QNAP TS-453Be that I intended to install in a new home construction but I've decided to keep it and get a rack mounted NAS for the new place instead. I will be using the new NAS mainly to run Plex, Home Assistant, and QVRPro with 11 POE cameras (powered by a separate Unifi switch). I'd like 10GBE, and the Unifi switch has SPF+ ports. I was planning on getting a four bay enclosure, mainly to save rackspace, but depending on your recommendation, I'd be open to going to eight bays. I would normally do a RAID 5, but is there an alternative approach you would recommend (separate drive groups for NVR, etc.)? Lots of questions here, but I'm happy to receive whatever info you can share. Cheers!
