Hi there, my current set up is a DS920+ With 4x 6TB Seagate Ironwolf Pros.
I’ve pre-ordered a DS1522+ but having second thoughts…….that Ryazan CPU!! I need to upgrade to a 5-bay as I now intent to add a second separate pool for using Surveillance Station on a single 5th HDD - a 12TB Seagate Skyhawk AI.
Main use case;
Plex Media Server
SS running concurrently (5x 4K cameras in H254, 15FPS high Bitrate) utilising smart recognition features
Synology Photos for 3x phone photo backups
Main question really, does the use of SS AND Plex with those settings drive the need for a dedicated GPU for the playback? (I.e. the DS1520+?)
Secondly, can you have one pool using BFTS and one using EXT4 running on the same NAS?
Many thanks,
Scott
