I'm looking to make a NAS with about 10TB of storage. it will stream some video and archive photo's...and because the photo's are important, redundancy/duplication is important, they cannot afford to be lost.

Do you plan to run Plex in a jail and will you need to transcode in real time.it will stream some video and archive photo's...
That's a bit outside the scope of a NAS. Redundancy/duplication in a NAS will not prevent, for example, accidental deletions or ransomware. You'll need to budget in backups and off site copies.and because the photo's are important, redundancy/duplication is important, they cannot afford to be lost.

I'm not against an i3 processor and ECC RAM, if it remains affordable.
I have a QNAP TS-231P and it'll work fine as a media server as long as you don't need to transcode or have it do other stuff like security cams. It's an option if 10-12TB is enough storage for you for the next few of years. If you go that route check HDD compatibility, last time I checked the only 10/12TB drives listed for the 231P were Seagates.you can get decent two drive NAS for about $250 now.
