    Areca ARC-1231ML & HGST 6TB NAS

    Excellent thank you for the response.. For me at least right now speed is not major issue.. the raid is for media more than speed.. Sometime down the road I'm sure I will upgrade but for time being if I can slap some 6 Tb's in there that would be great.. I have a 2TBX5 that could...

    Best Unmanaged PoE Switch?

    Also look at POE mid spans.. can be a lot cheaper then a POE switch.. and then you can still use a higher quality switch with it if needed.

    hard drives for plex media server

    Video Surveillance would be almost the exact opposite of what you want.. lots of writes very few reads... Most video for CCTV is never played back.. or rarely in comparison to what is all recorded.. Can't say what I would use at the moment.. but i'd stay away from those.

    where to do vlan routing?

    I don't think it will be to many... at the very most 10 vlans... and I would think maybe again at most 30ish hosts. This is just a home system, so nothing should be to overloaded.. iSCSI will be on its own vlan so that will not have to be routed, regular SMB shares for files/movies etc maybe...
