I'm working on learning about servers and such but it's a lot to take in. I'm looking to get a 5tb hard drive and install it into a network attached storage tower. What else would be needed to make this work? Links provided are what I'm thinking

Wow this was such a great learning experience. For what I'm trying to achieve it would seem the PI option would be best. Trying to keep it budget friendly and only need to stream to 1 device. I've also been trying to justify buying a PI for awhile. The plethora of guides will make it pretty easy to set up based off what you provided and a quick bit of research. I should be able to learn Linux and CLI enough to set it up as well. Thank you for all of this information!
