![]() The only hardware I have is the NAS box and hard drives. I’ve read that zfs file system is the best…will my above choice already solve this problem?. ![]() how to setup the NAS best for this purpose? normal RAID, unRAID, Freenas, etc.connect the PC+NAS to the network (how).build a small PC with graphics card for the Plex server (ie to be able to HW Transcode the media on the NAS), and what hardware to get (xeon, ryzen, quadro, etc).use the NAS as a storage for media only (ie NOT use the NAS as a Plex server).A lot of reading and youtube show either a pure dedicated server PC where the hdds are inside, or actually use the NAS box as a server…however I want to build a PC to do the work (server), but use the NAS box as the storage, using whatever best RAID method is possible.Ĭurrently, this is what I want to do, but would like some help as to how: However, the more I researched, the more complex it seems. With the new hardware, I hope to be able to put everything on it, and run a Plex server and be able to share it with family, and remotely. The storage is relatively small, and cannot hold all of my media, so the rest just goes into many 5.25" drives that I have lying all over my desk. I’ve never gotten into it for obvious reasons ($), but now that I had a chance I jumped the gun on the drives and NAS.Ĭurrently, I have a simple home network, and a small 2 bay DLink 323 to store some movies and shows that can be accessed by others on the network, purely as a network drive in windows. I am new (and late) to the NAS game, but I have always wanted to be able to access my media (movies, tv shows, music, photos, etc) through one outlet, and Plex seemed to be the clear choice. My local computer store had a sale, and I ended up with a new Asustor AS3204T NAS and 4x WD Red 10TB drives. Hi Everyone, new user here…came upon this forum to find some advice as to how I should proceed.
