Hello,
I'm looking to create a home server and have it connected to an external HDD enclosure. This would be for my Plex server but I also want to install home assistant, next cloud and immich / general NAS. Want super fast speeds to HDD enclosure hence the 10g. Basically looking for recommendations for this, price preferably under £500 (UK) and this price is just for the mini pc as I already have a HDD enclosure. Can some also explain would I also need a 10g port to my router then to see these speeds on my pc. Everything would be connected to the router though it doesn't support 10g so I may have to buy an external network switch that has 2 10g ports ? One for the mini pc to the network switch and one for the connection back to my router? Will most likely be installing Linux as the server, something like unraid or true nas with docker etc.
Quick note I want to access the storage (NAS) on my pc hence the 10g speeds. The enclosure would be connected to the mini pc via usb and my PC is on the same network as this mini pc.
