Hey there! It sounds like you've got a solid plan for your home network setup. Considering your 2.5-Gig network and the NAS for backing up Mac computers, the Synology DS1621+ would be an excellent choice. Its 6-bay capacity and compatibility with Seagate Exos X18 18TB Enterprise HDDs provide ample storage for your backup needs. For powering PoE devices, I recommend checking out the TP-Link TL-SG3428X-M2, which is a 24-port Multi-Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch. It should fit well into your networking rack setup, offering efficient power for your devices.
