All data is stored on the mirrored NAS for fault tolerance and centralized backup. Consequently, don't bother with Time Machine. Only applications, local copy of iCloud photos and messages are found on the MacMini. A third of space used is for Parallels alone! Attach external USB based SSDs for periodic Carbon Copy Cloner OS images.

Sibelius' recent post revealed that Apple still wants $800 for 2 TB internal M.2 storage five years later. Doubt that I will go that route the next time around either.

Spinning rust used exclusively for backup purposes.

Fifteen year old Dell Studio tower running Win7 still working fine. OS on SSD with 2 TB spinning rust drive serving as yet another backup copy of data including multiple copies of Macrium based OS image backups. Used for ripping music and video and running Geoclock as it isn't supported under Win10. Here is other side of office where wifey plugs in university MacBook Pro for working at home.
