So - RAID5 - 12TB for your Amanda database and backups. RAID6 / RAID10 - 8TB > what installer? this is a pi clone but faster than a pi, install is putting > the .iso on a 64Gb microSD.

Most of them promise a 40 pin compatible pinout but there is no guarantee as to what other building blocks are there and you almost certainly won't be able to run any Pi accessories anywhere else or vice-versa. There is no guarantee that any clone will work with anything else. _Which_ Pi clone? If these are Banana Pi 5 and you want them supported *in Debian*, go and talk to the folks on IRC on #debian-arm or the mailing list. Ask them to get some boards and work out what the diff is between the supplied kernel and a Debian kernel. Ideally, you want the vendor to commit to a long-term support for the board. Banana Pi seem to change models very regularly - so good luck with Shenzhen SINOVOIP. Install is putting an image - .img file onto the SD, booting it via u-boot - and then running their installer to install onto the NVME. How are you connecting your SSDs? Via USB3 or via good quality SATA leads and high quality power supply? If you want to do the RAID stuff for yourself, you'll first need to work out how to run mdadm and LVM needs lvresize and similar. Same steps as I gave you, but you'll need to ask your vendor to provide _all_ support not this list.
