ram for nas - Enquiries - 01-29-2026
hi would love some advice on how much ram i'd need if all i'm doing is hosting manga/visual novels using Komga [probably via docker]. the library is about 2TB in size and at any given time there will be 2-3 people reading off of the server. and also looking for 2 x 1080p [both h265/264] video transcoding capability. for these cases would i require an nvme cache? would also love a 2 or 4 bay nas recommendation for my use case please !!! i've noticed it's harder to find modern nas with quicksync as companies are moving towards amd. is this a cause for concern or is amd still capable enough for 2 x 1080p transcoding [h265]. thanks and regards, dhiya.
