I want something that can be used to sync my phone's photos and have all my media files for Plex. It should be able to handle 4k transcoding too. Along with file sharing for home network. But I also want some redundancy in place in case a drive fails.
Nyko Data Bank. Look it up, bet you never knew it existed 😃
Edit: here's some info on it on YT.

So this doesn't look very slick to me.
This is the answer. Best product I've seen for testing HDs.

4K transcoding is usually discouraged, given that a native playback client costs $20 from Walmart. If you have a niche case, such as mobile playback when away from LAN - a duplicated 1080p library is cheaper than a fully capable transcoding box.
I've used a synology, terramaster, and truenas setup - N100 is the current recommended NAS cpu for self builds. If you're only doing plex and intel quick sync from any of the appliance builders(synology, qnap, etc) works. I recommend using the docker container version.
Currently I have a slick priced terramaster f4-423. The OS is meh but I sideloaded truenas. Right now my docker environment runs plex, all the media cataloguing programs I like, a light weight code server for personal one off things, a recipe database, home automation, pihole, and some other things I'm forgetting.

One thing I noticed - GoHardDrives seems to wipe all smart data, ServerPartsDeal wiped some of it but not all - although the Smart info showed garbage data - I read somewhere that Seagate uses non-standard Smart data and you have to use SeaTools to verify.
