  • Cat8 is not the benefit here.

    That is correct. Since we talk about lower then Gb speeds

    It’s all twisted pairs as any other CAT cable. You probably just had a shitty quality cable.

    Yes, but the CAT does not simply do nothing, shielding is probably the most distinguished factor on the CAT rating and it increases the signal integrity and therefore the max speed you can push across the cable. Saying “all just twisted pair” is just BS, or just try to get 10 Gb speeds on a CAT 5 on 100m long cable.














  • Then just go with debian+docker. As raid software i would recommend ZFS, its a filesystem that does both and also integrity on file level. (and lots more)

    I personally would only buy new ones. No matter the brand just the best TB/€ you can get.

    For MB basically every Chipset gives you 4 SATA ports. You could consider picking one that Supports unbuffered ECC memory but that is not a must. If you want to Hardware Transcode in Jellyfin, then Intel is probably your best since the dGPU with Quicksync is pretty good and well supported, otherwise i would go AMD.

    For 4 drives you can use most ATX cases have no recommendations here.


    • Truenas Scale - Comercial NAS OS. I bit of work to get started, but very stable once going.
    • Unraid - Enthusiast focused NAS OS. Not as stable as Truenas, but easier to get started and a lot of community support.

    Since OP wants to use Docker i would not recommend either. Trunas scale does not support it usefully and the implementation in Unraid is also weird. Also the main benefit of unraid is the mixing of drives, OP wants to raid.
