Been looking, looking and looking for a 4/5 NAS for Plex (1080p & 4K) and data backup. I’m not after a DIY hack, or a server (already have one).
Have 3 Seagate 16TB drives on their way. Plex plays on an Apple TV 4K, and not much is transcoded - mostly audio on 4K videos from what I’ve seen.
Have had my eye on a Synology DS918+ or DS029+, plus the Terramaster range. Would love it if anyone with NAS knowledge that could recommend a decent model capable of the above, and a good price.
TIA!
A DS918+ if you can still find stock somewhere as it should be cheaper than the newer DS920+ and you won't be missing out on much in the newer generation, but it's been looking like slim pickings for DS918+ stock in the past few months.
