What are the recommended disk specs for plex? I have a 4tb NAS that can do like 60MB/s and my internal 2tb disk can do 200MB/s. Will I notice a difference in playback, because there is no way that my wifi is going to pull like 480mbps to playback files. I have a gtx 1050 ti that I will use for hardware transcoding, along with an intel processor with quick sync.
Your(most) hard drives will never be an issue or bottleneck unless they are actually defective.
The only issue you will face with your hard drive is if you have enough space to house the metadata plex will download.
No, you probably won’t. You may(and I mean may) see a difference in navigating from one movie to another. You know, spin up, seek times, RPM’s… But I doubt it.
EDIT: I couldn’t find anything specific to pertain to hard drive speeds when it comes to streaming. Though I would like to see something on it. I bet it would be a fascinating read.
Though, here are some on internet and online streaming services. One dates back to 2013!! but not much has change for “basic” SD streaming…
