The big mistake I made when getting into Plex was the need for a constant internet connection. The main reason I got a Plex server was in prep for hurricane season since the internet tends to go down every hurricane season so I was trying to set up a Plex server so my family have movies and TV shows to watch. I spent a couple hundred dollars for an Intel NUC that I upgraded (i7 10710U, 32GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe, 4GB 2.5" SSD), spent weeks ripping over a thousand DVDs & Blurays with both movies and entire complete seasons of dozens of TV shows. Had everything set up and running sweet before hurricane season but first hurricane knocked out the internet and there I was trying to figure out why I couldn't find my Plex folders.

Hey Guy, I have a question for you I trust your reviews and I do appreciate the time you take to let us know what is better or not on your experience with these items. here goes nothing: I want to purchase a Synology product but due to financial issues it's very hard for me and I need to make the right choice for what I need it for and I cannot afford to regret my decision. I will be using it to replace my slow-ass Drobo 5C and also for my Plex service and pics, documents, etc... I would appreciate any kind of information you can offer. I was looking into these two Synology 2-Bay DS223J Diskstation or Synology 2-Bay NAS DS223 or the Plus version. please help me out. thank you

Hey folks!
Thank you for the amazing work you are doing!
A question I have:
I would like to build a media center based on N100 unit (or alternatively N305, r any other low TDP – feel free to recommend if you could ), but what I am afraid of that it would not be capable to play k4 HDR files with over 90-100Mbps transfer. Majority of tests I saw are up to 50Mbps. I did tests with cheapo – Synology 220j and it worked fine until around 70Mbps.. and then started to lose frames, pixelize etc.
Could you suggest any decent build for this purpose, without breaking the bank, please?

To clarify – I need a media center for singular 4k HDR Atmos ~100Mbps media (no transcoding) + thousands of photos storage (RAW quality, each file over 25MB) + additional services pihole, potentially VPN, private cloud etc.

My enterprise helium drives have super loud heads but the platers are basically dead silent. My consumer air filled drives have quiet heads but the platters sound like laptop fans on full blast. I prefer the quiet idle over the quiet load.

Tell me something. Is it required to have your Plex up and running on your computer and other devices before you set it up on the Nas? Or can you install it on the Nas alone?

Video Transcoding was the first thing I disabled on my PLEX to force Direct play. Transcoding always degrades video quality. All my devices can direct play 4k HEVC, AV1 will be a bit of an issue for awhile as only my newest TV can direct play 4k AV1. As for my PLEX share, it's up to them to get a device capable of playing the files I share and not me to transcode it for them (I'm not running a paid streaming service).

Video starts at 1:22. Could you edit this in the future to make it 8min? Even with double speed it was slow...

Please do one for the Gen 2 once it's out, as it seems it won't have integrated video ????

Thank you for the video, I've saved it to reference later as I make my journey in setting up my first NAS. I'm just curious, when and how does an nvidia shield pro come into play and how does that impact what components you require/don't require in a prebuilt NAS system?
