Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you found our videos helpful! Congrats on your new QNAP TS-453e NAS. As for the NVMe SSD question, you're on the right track, and you're right to seek the best balance of capacity and performance. Good news – the QNAP TS-453e can handle NVMe SSDs at the 2280 size with a PCIe Gen3 x2 interface. This means you have a variety of options available.

Based on the use case you've described (home Plex media server and remote server), I recommend considering SSDs with good endurance and performance. Here's a list of NVMe SSDs with their endurance ratings (DWPD) to help you pick the right one for your needs:

970 Pro - 0.66DWPD
