I run Plex from a desktop to multiple TVs at home thru wifi, thru Roku Plex app. Occasionally another remote user accesses my Plex content.
Been looking to offload the workload from my desktop CPU. Thought NAS might accomplish this. I have approx 1TB of media, but with more capacity could quickly get up to 2TB, possibly 4TB in a year.
Almost all my content is 1080 or less. Most files are 2GB or less.
The NAS would be strictly a media server and file backup device.
Looking at the Terramaster F2-423 as a good value option.
But is a NAS necessary at all? Might I be better served with running ethernet cable thru the attic and upgrading internet service to 100MBps?
