Is this a good NAS build?

Tags: Windows

I’m trying to build my own NAS for video editing. I won’t be working with 4k footage – 2k at the most. The NAS will primarily be for archive but I want to have the option to edit off of it, if needed. I’m fairly certain that this will do the job but my biggest concern is the “networking” part. I’ve never built a NAS so I’m not sure what is needed to connect it to my PC. Let me know if you have any insights.
