Hello all
Am just just starting to look into getting a NAS device.
Basically my only real need and use for this device will be for is backup storage.
I actually have setup a cheap laptop with a USB drive for using myPlex to my Roku systems. And so far its working great and I prefer to leave it this way as its a nice, nothing to do with anything else system.
Best NAS For Plex In 2021 - Top 12 Reviews & Buyers Guide
- Best NAS for Plex. $1,836 at Newegg. Bottom line: The QNAP TVS-672XT is the.
- Jul 03, 2014 Hi there I'm relatively new to plex, started using it about 3 months ago and I love it. I'm currently running my PMS from my home computer! Its a year old three thousand dollar gaming rig. At any time Its running media to 4 different computers aswell as 2 Chromecast while trans coding at the highest possible quality (or so I think). No problem what so ever! I have a Duel band wireless AC1900.
But for the NAS as it will be for backups, was planning to use it too to backup all the movies from this system as while I could do it all again, it did take me a long time to re-encode them all from the various sources I have so I can use them on myPlex and my Rokus.
Synology DiskStation DS220+: Best Overall. Right now, the DiskStation DS220+ is the best NAS you.
Anyway, might seem like a silly reason to make the choice....but as these will also be on there too, while I don't intend to really use it this way, I was thinking in a pinch if I had too, I could for myPlex.
So that kinda brings up the question, of the current offerings Plex has for NAS devices, which one is the best?
Guess I'm kinda saying that as although I obviously haven't used anything other then the windows PMS, I see there are a few other ones for these dif devices, but have to assume by their designs, that for Plex, they are not all the same as there are probably limits and issues per what each NAS device can do. So again, might seem like a silly point to consider, but if I have to choose a NAS, I would rather get one that I know the version of the Plex server software is has, can do the most and has the most an best features to it.
All in all in looking at the NAS devices, it seems like the Synology units and specifically the DS213 looks like one of the better units (which is why I posted here but also hope I can get some unbiased opinions), but if the Plex server software blows on it as there just is no way to make it not, and is way better on say a Netgear ReadyNAS, I might consider looking at those.
