NAS

I've done the DIY, holy fuck does a Synology NAS just remove all the hard bullshit from your plate. Highly recommend just starting there. I've got the DS 423, it's been bulletproof.

Help on making a Plex PC Server

The i5-13500 (plus plexpass) makes a fantastic transcoding combination, able to transcode, for most of us anyway, to the moon and back. I'd not expect any issues. In RAMpocalypse times, I'd not go to 32GB; if it's just a Plex and the -Arrs server, 8GB is enough, but get 16GB just to have some extra

How well does a Pi 5 work as a NAS?

I personally don't like Pi's, I've just had too many fail on me, BUT! 1Gbit ethernet, do you need more than 1Gbit? What are you going to actually be doing on it?

PMS on pc or NAS?

I use a Syno DS423+ with Intel Celeron J4125 CPU (a 2019 CPU with Intel QuickSync capable iGPU). I have PlexPass. I think it's fantastic. I have 5 AppleTV devices around the house, and I share this out with perhaps five other frequent users and 5 other infrequent users. I have 100mbps up and gigabit

PMS on pc or NAS?

Your NAS has the same CPU as the Synology DS423+ that someone mentioned to you below. If you're using hardware transcoding (Plex pass required) you can get around 2 4k transcodes out of it. I had a similar NAS and transcoding wasn't my problem. The thing that improved the most when I upgraded to a m

Reliable NAS for Time Machine?

Any modern NAS would do pretty well here; TM is table stakes in 2026. I have a Synology DS423+ and a few drives doing this now; works fine.
