Moving from an internal media drive to a NAS (discuss.tchncs.de)

Until recently I stored my media library in folders. A tedious way to manage a collection.

I set up Jellyfin on my main machine as a test. I enjoy the experience and want to migrate to a NAS, for better reachability in my network. I am a beginner when it comes to networks.

I currently use a single 20TB HDD (current usage 80%) and another 4TB HDD is around somewhere. I was wondering what my options and recommended solutions are. Should I get 1, 2, or more 20TB drives? I want some redundancy, but don't want to invest into too many drives.

Looking forward to any tips or resources to read up on. Thanks.

I use zraid1 (kinda like raid5 but much better) in zfs with a stack of 18TB drives
