Hey everyone,
firstly, thanks for all your comments. I am a noob, but am confident I can get this thing going. I just have a few questions before ordering.

OS
I plan on installing Kubuntu and have the necessary downloads + upgrade already downloaded for the bios.

hardware;
I decided to get the NUC6i5SYH - seems to be good enough (pretty darn good!)
My thoughts were SSD drive for the OS and apps, 2.5" drive for data (as well as an already existing NAS)
I am thinking 128gb is plenty of space for that. am I right here?
SSD what will the difference be on a 6Gb/s vs. 10Gb/s? Sure, 10Gb/s is faster and about twice the price, but will I notice a difference?

HDD 2.5":
Speed: will 5400 be fast (enough)? is 2TB the highest made at easy to pay prices?
I was looking at this baby http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/weste...57900.html


RAM
16gb the way to go?

Any other suggestions highly appreciated.
Nvidia Shield Pro
Kodi 19.x (it self updates, not sure what we are on now)
** need advice on an NAS Server for Kodi to access **
