For point 2, check out synology. I can say my experience has been great and I wish I’d bought a bigger device (I got a four bay enclosure and wish I’d gotten 8). QNap was also a home storage device I looked into, but don’t have any experience with. Not affiliated with synology, just a satisfied customer.

Love my Synology, and I bought a 2-bay cus I thought it was just going to be a toy. Now I have everything on it and I’m dreading moving to a larger unit. It’s backed up nightly to whatever cloud provider I feel like at the moment, but it would be super cool to put a second unit at a friend’s house and back up to that.

Been using a synology since 2017 it's an amazing data storage toaster. Don't ever need to think about it, it just goes and goes

“Toaster” is not the positive adjective that comes to mind when it comes to data.

How much maintenance have you done on a toaster
