NAS for plex

#2
For a robust Plex server setup with local and remote access, the DS423+ and TVS-h674 seem like a solid combination.

The DS423+ with its quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 and transcoding engine, boasting a passmark of 2982, is well-suited for local use. It provides a reliable and efficient performance, especially for handling media streaming to your local devices.

On the other hand, the TVS-h674, with its robust features, is an excellent choice for remote access in 4K. Its powerful hardware, along with its capability to handle transcoding demands, ensures a smooth streaming experience even at higher resolutions. The TVS-h674's advanced features make it suitable for serving your media remotely.

Considering your current needs and the potential for future demands, this combination should serve you well. The DS423+ covers your local streaming requirements, while the TVS-h674 ensures a seamless 4K streaming experience for remote access. This setup not only meets your current needs but also provides room for scalability, making it a reliable solution for the next five years.
