I now have 2 lacie d2 10tb drives connected to a Nvidia shield mainly filled with movies and series for a semi pro cinema room. Using mainly Kodi or Infuse to play the movies/series. Need more storage and backup of the drives (see raid 5 or 6 solution)
Would like a solution so in other rooms movies and series can also be accessed&played + wirelessly uploaded. Have a Unify deam machine pro and switch pro, wireless all idm as well and all put in a rack. Ideally a rack solution or tower and doubting between 6 or 4 bay NAS from Qnap or Unify (tower or rack). Mainly for video playback and camera recording (house security) and access from all rooms. Every room has an apply tv or shield for the media.
Thanks for the advice .

Hello, I personally collect movies and series for hobby purposes. I have an Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 Android TV device and a Synology DS-920+ NAS device. I love Plex and I use Plex Media Server installed with Docker on the NAS. I also use the Plex application via Nvidia Shield TV. I watch movies and series files by using the NAS as a storage area. Sometimes I use very large video files such as 4K HDR Plus 10 bits, but I need to play them by transcoding. My question to you is: Do you have any recommendations for a NAS device that I can use to play 4K video files directly using PLEX without transcoding or file conversion? In other words, I want to play a 4K video file directly in 4K without converting it to 1080p. Is there any NAS device brand and model that you can recommend for this? Thank you for your support..

Hi,

I need advice.
My intended NAS setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8600G 4.3 GHz 6-Core, integrated Radeon 760M, cooler incl.
Mobo: ASRock A620I LIGHTNING WIFI Mini ITX AM5
Mem: Kingston ValueRAM 32 GB (1 x 32 GB) DDR5
Case: Jonsbo N4
Intended use: home file & media store, occasionally managing some VMs, containers, etc.
I tried to choose quite recent parts for a quite future proof device. RAM is DDR5 but I'm still thinking about choosing DDR4.
Backup is additionally on ext. HDD.
Case choice is Jonsbo N4 as it is smaller than N3 and looks better. CPU is a box processor and shipped with cooler. Do I need additional cooling or is it enough for my home use? The number of disk spaces, 6 is enough for my current and future needs as I'm planning to add 4 HDDs into the system now (2 maybe later).
Am I missing any parts in this setup, e.g. additional cooler, expansion cards anything? Should I go with Jonsbo N3?
Let me know if this setup is exaggerated or any change suggestions.
Thanks

what is the difference between seagate barracuda 7300.12 and 7200.12

Hello,

I'm looking to put all of my 4k, Blu-ray and DVDs on HDDs, as well as documents and photos in general. Looking at Plex as a solution for streaming it all to my 4k TV, phone and/or computer (5600x, 3070), with the focus on being the TV.

I'm looking at a 4-bay solution so I can use Raid 1 with 2x 8TB drives, with the option for expansion in the future. I know I'll need to transcode for my phone and computer use.

I want to keep the highest quality format for my 4k and Blu-ray movies, with as little to no loss at all in quality. With my main focus being keeping the highest quality available, I'm at a loss as to what I should go for. I'm comfortable building a small pc for the task, or going for a NAS product that I can just buy. The system will live in a closet. Also, I'm looking to go with 2.5Gbps.

Thank you,

Was just wondering what the smallest and cheapest Synology NAS is that can stream 4K movie files over my LAN via Plex. My playback device is a Google Chromecast 4K, which I don't think can do transcoding.
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to decide whether to build a NAS or buy an 8 Bay NAS (e.g. QNAP TS-873A). In both cases I'd like to use Truenas scale as the OS.
I have two netgear readynas's (both have 6 Bay). They're working OK, but I'd like to have a 3rd machine running on a more recent OS. Currently , the 'secondary' readynas copy's changes on the 'primary' using rsync nightly. The 3rd NAS would become the new 'primary' and both 'secondaries' would use rsync to copy changes on the new primary. Can a NAS be built for <£900 that would be equivalent to say QNAP TS-873A? I only use the NAS for storage. I'm not convinced by the Jonsbo HDD &quot;tray's&quot;, although in your videos they seem to be the best option for custom builds. My reason for mentioning the QNAP is I prefer its trays to Jonsbo. Requirements are: 36TB storage over 6 to 12 bays (running RAIDZ2); IPMI (nice to have, not essential); 10Gb (1 or 2 ports; 8-16GB ECC ). Would you suggest going down the build or buy path?
Thanks for your time.

Hey SO I have a QNAP TS 233 which is getting FULL.......


So I was thinking best option for long term is the qnap TS 464 with 4 x 8GB disks.....

Can you run them both through the same QTS interface or do they need to be run separate I presume as they will have different names.....
