I want to setup a 32 TB of total NAS and one of the 8TB to be a raid (i’m guessing that’s the backup incase a drive fails?). I want setup up the NAS for 4 people including me.

I want all 4 users to have their own username and storage so each of us cannot see what’s in the other’s folder. i saw the phone app having a feature like this but i did not really understand how this works.

I’ll be the one who’ll be using this to it’s full extent with not only my personal photos but also for archiving my work files and a large number of YT videos i’ve been collecting for a while now.

I want to be able to drop files into the NAS from my main PC, which has ethernet connection from the router. I’m guessing this would work more like an external HDD that i can just drop files to?

Also what are these 10 gig ethernet ports? i don’t understand them

If i’m missing something or add something more to this, please let me know and i can plan my budget accordingly.

Edit: changed the link for the NAS device as i added one with the drives which i did not want to add
