Honestly it could very much be that I fell into the security trap. It’s just that everytime I read something about “homelab best practices” VLAN’s are close to the top of the list.

Maybe I ditch my plans and just establish a VLAN for IoT and guests.

The H4 plus honnestly looks great. I do have a 3d printer so an custom NAS enclosure would be easy to manufacture. And 4 SATA ports for ssd should be more than enough. Thank you!

Yeah I would do that if I could but unfortunately we would hear the thing regardless of where I would set it up in the flat.
