I was already leaning towards a RAID NAS, although 4TB might be a bit much at this point, but it is cheaper now so what the heck
The server is the box that stores your media - the NAS box, PC, or whatever.

You also need some kind of device to play the media. This is what reads it from the server. This will typically be a set-top box that connects to your network, and has an HDMI output to your TV.
