I currently have a Synology 1819+ (RAID 6) which I use to store my Plex library off of. When watching movies in HEVC the NAS struggles (assuming because it can not do hardware accelerated encoding) and the movie becomes laggy and unwatchable. Network is not the issue as I have 1 gig up and down. It is the NAS CPU that is maxed out at basically 100%. Looking for suggestions to watch any movies via Plex regardless of codec and watch on the fly without lagging. Would it be better to build a computer or go with a pre-built NAS system?
I understand that I may have to switch from Synology and some how get all media off to another unit.
