Can I just run plex from RAID? Did I read that somewhere?
I hate networking stuff… It gives me a headache thinking about it
I reckon a celeron nuc would come in handy here. You could probably even get away with a raspberry pi (although I'm sure bittorrent will kill it).
In terms of RAID, neither of those 2 options will support it out of the box. You might need to get a usb / nas box with integrated raid. The bonus is that you won't have any issues with the raid drivers.
