Buy 16 TB drive, or at least 4 TB if possible.

Go for WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk. They cost same as blue/baraccuda but have 1 year extra warranty and they are meant for 24x7 operations.
For 1-3 users playing 1080p videos at same time, its plenty of read write speed.

OP
Oh man those surveillance drives are so much affordable than NAS drives. Any pros and cons for using surveillance drives instead of NAS drives?
From what I read, surveillance drives are specialized for write, while NAS drives are specialized for write and read both. Hence NAS drives cost so much more than surveillance drives.
However, for my low usage of NAS, mostly 1 person streams and that too for not more than 3 hours a day (on an average), I think surveillance drives should also do the job fine.

I have been using surveillance drive (WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk) for several years on 2 different NAS. I m able to stream 4k movies (PSARIps) pretty well.
