So yea I have some good requirements, but I hope it's doable esp. since I dont need much storage (~6TB), but need some advice...
This will be primarily for sharing and backing up (sync'g) family photos from various devices (Linux/Windows/Android), occasionally streaming content up to and including 4k, thinking Plex here. Zone Minder for CCTV, and some misc IoT devices that may need stg.
Originally I was thinking the TrueNas Mini X+, however I am leaning more towards ssd and nvme since all my current PC's are all SSD or NVME.
Any other DIY suggestions?

- I don't need much more than maybe 4TB right now, so I think starting with 6-8 TB would be good and I can expand as needed.
- I am thinking 6-8 1TB NVME drives, but really not sure which systems support this and HOW that works/connects? Preferably the newer Pcie-4 here!
- I am familiar with building typical PC's but those normally have 1-2 NVME slots at most.
- How are others supporting a large number of nvme devices? I know there are serer class systems but it seems like those have many small fans which are prob very loud!! The device would sit very close to my office and PC so that wont work.
- I dont need any more than around 64-128GB of supported RAM.
Any other DIY suggestions?
