Apologies, I do not want to derail the conversation.
They do look like nice drives!
I’ve used standard desktop drives with NAS’es in the past and that didn’t always work out well, getting NAS optimized drives sounds like a good idea.
Some energy-saving server, i.e. HPE Mircoserver with 16 or 32 GB (ECC) RAM and Truenas Scale as OS.
Filesystem: ZFS.
one ssd for system (system pool)
And as many HDD/SSD as possible/required as data pool.
