I’m working on learning about servers and such but it’s a lot to take in. I’m looking to get a 5tb hard drive and install it into a network attached storage tower. What else would be needed to make this work? Links provided are what I’m thinking

    The only question I would say that decides what you get is, do you want files to be transcoded for clients or not.

    If not, you can definitely use anything since you just stream directly. I use a Raspberry Pi 4, works perfectly with 3 users direct stream at home.

    If you want to be able to supply transcoding you need to lookout for supported hardware, but I am the wrong person to talk about that, given I only use the Rpi4.
