Hey all,
I am trying to build a high-performing local NAS/Media-Distribution server and thought that FreeNAS looks like a good fit. Since I am new to this, I went through the Forum and the Hardware Guide and tried to collect as much information and designed the Server accordingly.
I hope the hardware selection makes sense and I haven’t overlooked anything essential. Any comment / input is highly appreciated - thanks in advance!

Aim/Requirements/Outline:
- Media-Server for content distribution over Ethernet & WiFi(up to 10x 4K streams + up to 20x HD streams & connected to a 10GB-Ethernet Network)
- Small form factor (as small as possible)
- Supermicro SuperChassis E300:

- Intel Xeon D-1518 Processor

- 1x Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD 250GB (MZ-V7E250BW)

- Since space in the chassis is limited and I want to use both SSDs as data-storage, is it possible to not use any Raid/ZFS set-up (the data can be restored from another server in case the SSDs fail)?
