Server advice/question

Hello all! Looking to get into homelabing and starting to hoard data (mainly just movies for Jellyfin).

I am looking here to see if anyone has a nice DAS set up, or if i should just get a NAS and get some WD Reds for the movies/shows.

I currently have an i5 8600k with 32gb of ram (ddr4) from an old gaming rig. Using it now as a gaming server but i want to just add to its usage. (Its on windows 11 but i wouldn’t mind having either linux or WSL for windows to have linux). I heard linux is the way to go but since im already on win11, im not sure if it’s worth to fully switch.

Do you guys recommend a DAS and i slap it to the side? Or should i just retire it since its nearly 10 years old and go for the mini pc/das or NAS server?

Im looking to get 16-24tb of storage. Im not crazy about 4k quality. 1080p is good enough for me :)

I also don’t fully understand the *arr stack programs. I know thats a way to sail for movies but i haven’t really found a good youtube video (maybe i haven’t searched haarrrd enough… sorry lol).

All answers welcome and appreciated, thanks for your time in reading this!
