Hello Robbie,
I am 71 with only a basic knowledge of computers and no knowledge of NAS systems.
I have 2 computers and 2 OLED TVs, both with nVidia Shields, which are all hard wired to my 1Gb ethernet connection. To stream Plex, I have been using one of the nVidia Shields as the Plex Media Server with an 8Tb WD Elements attached to it via USB3 for video storage. Unsurprisingly, after 4 years of daily use, this set-up has become extremely slow to access.
May I therefore kindly ask for your advice as to what NAS you would recommend bearing in mind that it will be used solely as a Plex Media Server and for nothing else.
For what it is worth, I have checked the Plex NAS Compatibility Chart and the TERRAMASTER F4-424 Pro is listed as being able to hardware accelerate transcode everything. Additionally, I have your wonderful videos to follow on how to set it up.
What do you think?
Many thanks in advance,
David
