Hello, I ask myself a lot of questions concerning media storage, I never used a NAS or DAS.
I have like 6-8 tb of videos atm on NVME inside my PC and on an external hard drive I barely use.
I originally wanted to put some hard drives in my pc but it was too loud and I couldn’t manage to put the disk at sleep, dunno why (Seagate barracuda).
I never used plex or anything, only my PC. I have both PC in network together so I can watch movies stocked on my main PC with my laptop.
I originally thought about getting a NAS in raid 1 but it’s expensive and I’m worried about the nose and the risk always running for nothing. So I thought maybe a DAS in raid 1 with disk out asleep like 10 min after usage, I thought about the Orico 2Big with 2 12tb Seagate Ironwolf for less noise and the possibility to put them asleep.
What do you think about that ? Do I really need a Raid 1 ? Should I just get another NVME ? I’m kinda lost here…
Than you in advance.
