DiskStation DS920+

Did this as well. I got a synology 920+ with two 10TB drives. Have been using them for 3 years. It also doubles as my Plex media server as well. Worth the 700 or so upfront cost. I'll probably add two more 14TB drives at the end of the year.

I run Jellyfin on my Synology DS920+ NAS. IMO, only Synology's plus series of NAS devices (with a GPU) are suitable for a consumer grade Jellyfin server. Among the latest models, only the DS425+ has the GPU needed for Jellyfin hardware transcoding - - that's probably the NAS I'd get if I bought one

The ugreen nas option is pretty nice. It has the quicksync support so it will be good for plex transcoding since you have a plex pass. People are suggesting NAS + mini pc because it allows some room for growth. I started off with a Synolgy DS920+ and used it to run plex directly as well as other ser

Plex Media Server on a mini-PC. Storage on DAS or NAS. The Shield is a great client. It is a terrible server. You do not need a Plex Pass for hardware transcoding with a Shield. However, that advantage is more than offset by the issues. The prime problem is that the server is prone to simply disappe

Jeg har været godt tilfreds med min Synology DS920+. Det er en lidt dyr indgangspris, men man får en ret robus softwarepakke med. Men man skal være opmærksom på at mange nyere NAS bruger AMD chips og derfor ikke har en Intel GPU der kan bruges til at accelerere video transcoding... som ikke altid er

I'm running proxmox on a lenovo mini pc for all my vms/containers and use my synologly for mass storage. I prefer my nas to be for storage and keep my services separate. I also have a DS920+ and i figured the iGPU in my lenovo mini pc (i5-10500t) would be better than the synology's aswell. I run jel

You do not, you can install the server directly onto the NAS using the Synology DSM. I have a 920+, I've been running it for ~4 years with no issues. But you can also have the server on another device and pull the media from the NAS storage. I'm waiting for a NUC to be delivered this week to finally

Out of suggested price, but to consider based on perfomance - around 4 times better than N100 and in comparision to N97 - around 5 times is for example U58 Mini PC based on AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. Problem is transcoding - I find out that is worse than on Intel. I don't need it this, but it is crucial inf

A turnkey NAS like Synology or QNAP is much easier to configure and maintain than an DIY NAS running Unraid or TrueNAS. My Synology NAS is brain dead simple to configure and maintain, but the hardware is pricey. My Synology NAS model (DS920+) supports hardware transcoding. It works well with Plex, w
