Looking at a NAS with a 3K budget (just for the NAS, storage will come later) I was thinking about a TVS-h1688X this will be used for PLEX that wil handle 5 - 10 streams of which may have 3 - 5 transcoding. I would also like to use a GPU if possible for hardware tanscoding.
Thank you

Qnap /tvs-h1688x do not support PCIe graphics cards based on their compatibility page. But it does feature transcoding engine Intel® UHD Graphics P630.This should easily cope with several 1080p streams. If you need 4K transcoding then Xeon software transcoding should handle a stream or two of such resolution.TS-x77 – HD Station / Linux Station / Hardware Transcoding / Container Station / Virtualization StationTS-x73 – HD Station / Linux Station / Hardware Transcoding / Container StationTS-x73A – HD Station / Linux Station / Hardware Transcoding / Container StationI hope this helps
