I want to build a NAS but I don’t really know where to start. I am trying to spend around $400 not including drives but I could push to $500 if needed.

Since it will be on 24/7 I would love to keep power consumption as low as possible.

The only thing I know for sure is I want to run TrueNAS in RAID-Z2 so I need room for at least 4 drives.

My use case

2TB of movies and TV shows that I would love to get in Jellyfin.

1TB of documents and images I want to keep that will be replicated to the cloud.

2TB of random junk I might need one day and don’t want to delete but it is not worth backing up to the cloud.
