Yes, Plex subtitles do require transcoding. DS218 is a very weak NAS. Transcoding 720p would be the best it can do, but only in certain video formats. It is very limited. DS218+ or DS718+ would do a much better job. Their Celeron CPU also features a better Graphics chip to do the job.More RAM would not improve things directly, but it surely will benefit from 4-8GB RAM.I hope this helps.
