Got my NAS set up and working with all my shit moved over.
Disclosure: I already had 2 x 16tb drives prior to setting this up.
Seagate fucked up and sent me a dead drive from Scamazon
Scamazon said Seagate would send me a new one and I had to send the old one back
Replacement shipping from Seagate suddenly goes into my cancelled orders
I refund the dead drive through Amazon and buy a new drive; this time coming from someone more competent than Seagate
Seagate fucked up and sent the replacement drive anyway.
Both replacement drives arrive the same day.
Now I have a $400 coaster sitting on my desk waiting for me to RMA it through Seagate directly (it's still under warranty), and another in a box waiting for me to put it into my desktop.
Also got a fatter SSD to put gaymes on since I freed up a couple of sata ports on my desktop and a managed gigabit switch so I can do link aggregation with the 4 ethernet ports on my NAS. Eventually, I'll use the PoE to run a couple of security cams on maybe an old computer idk.
Right now my storage capacity between all my devices is as such (not counting the 1TB of NAS SSD cache I added)

500GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2
225GB SanDisk SSD (in icydock hotswap PCIe cage)

10TB Seagate HDD
4TB WD HDD External
NAS:
5x 16TB Seagate HDD
