NAS experts (or opinionated beginners!): Do I NEED a Thunderbolt drive enclosure if my main purposes for a #NAS are things like backups, self-hosted photos (Immich), a Plex media server, etc?
Bonus question: Do I need Thunderbolt if I decide to use my NAS for video editing?
Thank you in advance for any and all advice. I've seen too many horror stories, and it's time to make this happen.
