Usually, one device doing both compute and storage most people’s use cases better. If you want multiple compute nodes, because you want to be able to reboot one for updates without taking down services, or you want to run real kubernetes, then three compute nodes and one NAS for storage makes sense.

One of the issues with multiple devices is networking. Transferring totally legit files for the Arr stack to and from the NAS can be a lot of data. Keeping it all in one system means your speeds up to that point are SATA speeds vs ethernet.
For the OP, one file with hard linking is my goal, but I only use Usenet. I rip anything that comes down with Tdarr to strip languages, normalize audio and rip to H265. If you do that with torrents, you will need to keep the original for seeding.

Meh, I only have gigabit and my content lives on an NFS share. It’s been fine for streaming and everything else.
