Hi. I am looking to buy my first NAS. I don't know much about this stuff, nor do I know how to make modifications to one that I buy (like adding extra memory and stuff). The main purpose of the NAS will be to use it as a Plex server. I bought three 14TB WD Red Plus drives already (to use in a RAID 5 setup), and now need to find the best NAS for me. Most of my files are of Anime in .MKV files that have multiple Audio formats and Subtitles, and a lot of them are 1080p (some 4k) and HEVC coded. Based on your videos, I think the QNAP TS-464 would be a good one, but you also mention that Synology has the better software that is easier for beginners, so would the 423+ be better than the TS-464? Note I care most about being able to stream all of my files (from anywhere in my house or somewhere else). What NAS would you recommend for what I want and that will play all the files I have (doesn't have to be the 464 or 423+)? Thank you.
