I am wondering on the best bundle for my planned NAS, mostly for Plex with some other minor add-ons.
I'd like to get either 6 or 8TB drives and am trying to decide amongst the various flavours of WD & Seagate. Am I better off compromising on storage for the up-spec HDD models?
Planned usage is mostly for Plex at home (replacing a purpose -built PC) with some light usage for some other services like backup and photos etc.
My Plex library is (at least 20Tb) and is a mix of mostly 1080p, 720p and 4K content. Most 4K movies are compressed to 4-6Gb size with HEVC encoding.
