I’m planning to build my own NAS/Server. Because it has been a while since I last build a computer from scratch, I was wondering if you people could tell me if my setup is sufficient for what I’m planning to do with it.
I want as a minimum a capable NAS for media streaming with Transcoding for 1080p in good quality and Backup/Storage of Data in a RAID setup for data security. On top of that a few services like PiHole, Home Assistant etc. would be nice.
Is this hardware sufficient or am I missing something? Can I expect good media streaming?
You might consider at least a third drive in raid for redundancy. This will allow one drive to die, but you won’t be offline while a new disk is shipped.

Depends, in proxmox using ZFS mirror using two drives it goes degraded when missing one.
But would use it carefully tbh as it is all that’s left over in that case. If there is no external backup.
