Looking for HDD Recommendation for UGreen DXP2800 Hosting Media Server
I'm looking to build my first NAS and I think I've finally decided on the NAS model, but I'm having trouble figuring out what type of storage I would need. My plan is to do a RAID 1 Configuration. The primary purpose of my NAS will be a home media server on Jellyfin, but I'll likely use it for some other stuff too. From what I've found on my own research is that if I purchase 2x8TB HDD I should be good to start out, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I've also found that the 3 types below are the most recommended. I think 8TB usable storage should be good enough for now. I'm also not sure if I should be considering an m.2 for my purposes quite yet, I'm not looking to spend more than $1000 (or close to it) on this for now.
