For this video, our NAS box is already built (hardware linked below) and we just need to deploy the software. Wendell walks us through setup for Steamcache, basic file structures, drive groupings as vdevs, and initial configuration for the NAS. We're using ZFS and Unraid together so that we can run VMs with transcoding scripts for old footage, something that Wendell was able to figure out for this video.
