Can anyone recommend a home NAS setup that I can run 24/7 to access my stuff remotely, stream Plex from etc? What sorts of storage constraints are there? Is tb too crazy to ask for?

Is it more practical to run a small PC with a drive in it for Plex stuff and keep NAS separate or something?

I'd like about 30tb+ for my growing media collection that I'd stream via Plex. I need to back up about 20tb of audio production libraries, perhaps another 20tb for my video production content that I actually want to keep. I also have a growing library of family media that I'd like to back up and store long term.

I figure buy once/cry once, but what does something like this run? What would you buy for longevity and performance? Would be nice to access remotely (if safe) so I can pull and backup current versions of projects to/from my laptop when I'm away for example. Any insight is appreciated!
