Hey,

 

So we currently have a RN3130 as primary storage for a small office, 20 users on autocad, total used space is about 600 gigs. I'm looking for an offsite backup and a home NAS...

Your internet download speed is of course also a factor here. You probably want incremental rsync over ssh, and do the starting backup on-site. 

... obviously be a Plex and Kodi server.  And most importantly a large colletion of gopro vids and SLR photo's which need to be served mad fast :)

 With plex, its best have a device fast enough to transcode.  That pushes you up to the RN200 series at least.  If you need to transcode 1080p, move up a notch to RN300.  

A 6-bay would let you use one or two SSD disks, which would give you a couple "mad fast". shares.  That might be useful for the photos (which often result in large folders of relatively small files).  Perhaps a RAID-0 volume spanning 2 SSD drives, backing them up to the larger mechanical disks for safety???
