Hello,
I am a bit confused and I was hoping you might be able to steer me in the right direction.
I am looking to buy a NAS for storage and Plex.
I am familiar with Synology, but I don't have a preference for the manufacturer.
I would like to get into 4K streaming. It is possible I could have up to 3x 4K streams at once.
I should clarify only 1 of those would be 4K in my home.
The other two streams might come remotely.
I believe I can set that so they only can remotely stream @ 1080p?
So this may not be an issue and only 1x 4K stream might be required.
I only need the NAS to be 2-4 bays.
My orginal plan was to go with 2x 16TB drives in Raid 1.
I will do a 1GB nvme drive if the NAS has the capability to do this for caching.
1GB to 2.5GB networking is all that is needed.
The main reason I am confused about all of this is because I have read a few articles I think one from Plex saying they recommend an i7 for 4k Transcoding.
Thank you for your help!
