Why this exact build
The same Intel two-bay hardware favored for Plex is an unusually capable entry container host with a simple mirrored data pool.
Watch: A NAS remains the storage system first; do not let experimental services jeopardize backup availability.
What the bundle contains
Capacity and redundancy
The mirror can continue after one drive fails; back up irreplaceable media metadata and personal files elsewhere.
Approximation: (2 − 1) × 4TB = 4TB. Filesystem formatting, system partitions, snapshots, and RAID implementation reduce displayed free space.
