I have a similar setup with 4x16tb drives (wd red pro), 2x m.2 ssd cache drives and 64gb ram in a qnap ts464.
will have everything networked over 2.5gb/10gb ports with cat6a to summer house and cat 8 in the house with mesh nodes on wired backchannel.
just waiting for the freshly laid fibre in our street to be activated early next year and I'll be golden.

New NAS is up and running.
I've only received 5 x 16TB drives so far, and the 2 x 1TB SSDs for the SSD cache, and the 2 x 32GB RAM modules... but that's enough to be up and running.
I've configured it for SHR2 with BTRFS and so far copied over about 5TB of data.
This thing is fast... and it turns out that's because the entirety of the BTRFS metadata can be stored in the SSD cache, so there's zero HDD activity for doing a directory listing or navigating the folder. Given some of my directories have low tens of thousands of things in them and they're now near-instant over the network, the whole experience is incredible.
Still waiting on another 3 x 16TB HDD though, I only have 46TB usable at the moment and will have 96TB usable once I have the other drives in place.
