for a long time.
Hardware costs aren't much of an issue, within reason. Got way too much stuff on the shelf not being used because of 'issues'.
Will likely plug in the highest priced, most reliable drives, as well.
Four bays of 4TB each might work.
Would like to run LMS and MinimServer on it.
I can keep Audirvana on the Mac Mini and let it go find music on the NAS, I'm guessing.
Follow Ups:
Even easier is to run LMS on a Dedicated RPi Model 4 with 2GB, which is what I do, as well as the Developers of PiCorePlayer... There are some software Dependencies on Synology NAS Systems, that may be Changed or Deleted in the near future, which may render LMS a No-Go on the NAS...
I switched over to a RPi to run LMS a few months ago.... It's much Simpler, as that is the only Task it runs.
But they have a plug-in that will work on many NAS drives, depending on the 'chip' used.
The dCS Network Bridge uses MinimServer to stream music from storage. It's the best sounding streaming solution in the house. Betters the uRendu by a small bit and for streaming TIDAL and QOBUZ it works great, albeit only controlled from a phone or tablet(not a PC). Only requires Minimserver to stream music for storage.
Currently running Minimserver on the Mac Mini with the music on a 4TB drive hanging off one of its USB ports. Not ideal, but it works as long as the Mini stays 'awake' and doesn't go to sleep in the middle of a tune.

Multiple Synology flavors available here . The 718+/720+ would use the Synology Intel version.

Why not two bays (mirrored) using 8 GB drives?
