How To Store, Stream, Backup & Protect? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'd like input on how some of you store, consume & protect your media. I have a rather limited knowledge of hardware and also limited floor space & plugs in my surge protector. My current PC has 2 2TB internal hard drives and no Wi-Fi Card from when it was rebuilt 2yrs ago.

Basically, I want something I can store a LOT of video (let's say 10T+), stream it to my devices, have some type of backup of the material and protection from power failures.

I've heard many terms like Media Server, NAS, Raid, UPS & services like Sync.com, etc. and have tried sorting through various videos on YouTube but it just confuses me more.

Any positive responses would be most appreciated!

I think my doubt was less "Can they do it?" (as i believe they can, should have in mind the transcoding limitation as i didn't knew) and more "SHOULD you do it?" given that it's gonna be filled with movies/series/whatever, and it's still a megacorp product

I wouldn't really worry about it as they just manufacture storage devices and have no reason to scare off their customer base by snooping and snitching. Furthermore, they have no real way of knowing whether you're entitled to have those files or not.
