Buying a new NAS mostly for Plex streaming and Docker with Kubernetes? - aviscido - 06-23-2020

Hello all,

I'm looking around for investing in a new NAS to replace my current old one (a Seagate PersonalCloud).

I'm mostly interested in 2 aspects:

- must support Plex in order to be able to stream to my ChromeCast,

- I'm starting to dig into Dockers + Kubernetes and I would like a NAS that would be able to run few virtual machines. I'm not interested in running virtual machines to replace my laptop; I'm speaking only about docker containers / images.

I was thinking to something like the QNAP TVS-682 (most expensive), Synology DS-920+ or Asustor AS6404T (least expensive)

HDMI output for me is not a must as I'm not planning to stream directly to my TV, but it's a plus.

I would like something that would need no upgrade for about the next 3 years. Support for additional M.2 SSD/nvme is a plus.
