ASK NC

What i idealy would like is to be able to transcode 2 min at 4k plex streams on the nas.I have no idea on bit rate of files but now more than 40gb for a 2hr movie mostly less 10-20gb.

Also to be able to remote into a torrent client from my pc to start and store torrent on the nas.
For the torrent functionally also looking to run my pia vpn.

Been looking at QNAP TS-464 NAS from what ive seen plex performance is good but weary of the vulnerabilities of having it connected to the internet ie for torrenting.

If you are streaming locally, transcoding is probably not required. Original file can be played. But if you stream remotely, you may need Celeron CPU for 4K transcoding via built in video app. Transcoding 4k via Plex will be only possible with NAS such as TSH-674 or TS-673A with PCIe GPU card.
Other brands like Synology do not make Plex-friendly NAS.
