Hey Maxime! Good call on upgrading for more bays. Both the DS423+ and QNAP TS-464 are solid options for your Plex needs. The DS423+ comes with a transcoding engine, ensuring smooth playback, and it's a cost-effective choice. The QNAP TS-464 is another contender, offering versatility and competitive performance. As for RAID configurations, since you're not prioritizing backups, RAID 0 or JBOD could work well for Plex. The DS918+ is highly rated, not just for transcoding but also for its overall performance and feature set. However, it's understandable if the price seems a bit steep.
