Hi, I’m running a DS220+ with two 16TB ironwolf pro hdds, I have another 16TB, 12 TB and 6TB ironwolf hdds lying around. The main use of my current nas is for Plex and ideally I’d like to get to 6 bays so I can fully utilise my hdds and future proof my storage needs. Am I better off building or buying a new nas? Any of the newer synology nas products use ryzen cpu so would be unsuitable for hw transcoding. A 1621+ could set me back €1,000 and I’d end up buying something else to run Plex on. Wondering what my best options would be?
