Hello everyone, newbie here looking for feedback on a proposed NAS build. Apologies in advance for dumb questions and thanks for your patience if I've made any obvious errors. 
Case: Jonsbo N3
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-i Gaming WiFi 6E mini-ITX (4 x SATA; 2 x NVME)
CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K
RAM: Lexar 32 GB DDR5 5600
PSU: Lian Li Sp 750W 80+ Gold
Fans: Noctua (CPU fan and 2x additional fans)
OS NVME: Samsung 990 Pro SSD 1 TB
Cache NVME: Crucial P3 Plus 4 TB for read/write cache and metadata
SATA Card: PCIe 3.0 4 Port
HDD: 8 x 18TB Ultrastar (renewed from ServerPartDeals)
OS: TrueNAS with drives configured in RAIDZ2 (I figure the likelihood of two drives failing at the same time is low-ish)
Purpose: mass file storage for stuff that can be replaced
Comment: Went with an Intel CPU for transcoding.
