File/Plex server

[dannywaugh1]

Hi all,
Currently looking into building a server for files(backup) and plex. Never used a server not sure where to start in terms of parts etc.
I know I will more than likely stream 4k going forward. I currently have 2 external drives for backup and backblaze.

Thanks!

For me it will only be for backup to start with, when I really think about use. Obviously with unraid if a drive(s) fail it has data loss protection is setup in that way?

The more i think of it really I believe i will go down the freenas route. Now i would like a motherboard that has ecc memory support but could cost more.
Any ideas on specs? I think also to start with I will want 16tb.
