Hi there! I recently saw the UGreen NAS kickstarter ad and it got me thinking of my Plex that has been neglected lately. I find myself lacking more and more time to invest in these types of projects, embarrassingly I purchased 4 8TB drives to use for a plex server and then got lost in the weeds trying to set up a raid card in my previous gaming rig. I am familiar enough to say I'm comfortable with building PCs so if there is a good cost benefit to building a mini PC for Plex I could most likely handle it but I have definitely been leaning more towards plug and play options. Currently I have those 4 "new" in box 8TB drives and I believe I have 4 4TB drives as well. I have a 15 year old HAF case that could be used for a custom build if that ends up being the suggested route. My main goal is to set up a Plex server to house all of my Movies/Music/Pictures so that I can access them via the many Plex apps in and outside of the home network on my TV/Tablets/Phones etc. Thanks!
