Hi,
First of all thank you very much for your work it’s very helpful. I am a PC builder enthusiast and I want to build my first Nas to store all my documents, and use it as a plex server as well. I really don’t know how to choose between buying a Nas or building one. I’m very concerned about the power consumption if I building one because it will be running 24/7. I really use it only for plex and I know that in my price range transcode will be difficult. All my media are on 1080P H264 but maybe I will need transcode in the future I don’t know. What do you recommend for a Nas Plex with low power consumption (DYI or not) ? I can build one with PC part but I’m afraid that it’s going to be very consuming in term of electricity. I can raise a little bit my budget if it’s really needed. Thank you very much for your help best, Antoine
