I will use the server for photos, videos, backups from my PC via borg and as a media server so i wanted to start with approximately 6TB. Budget without the harddrives is under 500€, currently looking at a refurbished optiplex 3060 with an Intel I3-8100T as a miniPC for server usage and then some used NAS system from Terramaster. Do you mean building a multibay NAS myself? I looked into it and it didn't seem really cheaper compared to buying used/refurbished.

Ahh i see your point, okay i will probably start with something easy then.

Is it really that much data? I mean I can't seed faster than my upload speed anyways and that is a lot lower than 1gigabit so i don't quite see how the network will get saturated.

Yeah I'm still debating over Usenet vs. Torrents, but Torrents seem better for some old stuff. And I am a bit off put by the mention that there are some Usenet groups that are kinda secretive and special and hard to get access to. I mean there is kinda the same with private trackers but at least they seem a bit more transparent about it.

1. Yeah CPU seems to be a "problem" with a lot of NAS devices. Especially for hardware transcoding.
2. My thinking was, that i can just ignore the features that I don't need but then i won't have to change it in the future when i need more features.
3. Ahh, thank you.

Thank you very much, that helps a lot.
