Looking for NAS recommendations for a Plex Server

General Discussions Hardware

Hi there,

What is currently the best NAS supporting transcoding at an “affordable” price range? (A
TVS-472XT is a bit too expensive) - I would like to spend around 1000$/€ on the hardware itself.)

Would like to have 4 slots for drives. Transcoding should support all “general” used formats (4k transcoding should be working as well).

Has anyone of your recommendations or existing tests?

Thanks a lot for your help!

This doesn’t have prices but it will narrow down what you’d want to Google

I have a Western Digital that has always worked for myself and 4 remote users. I do not see many posts asking for help with WD. It may be that there aren’t too many buying them.

You don’t need a bad for Plex. You can get a mini pc as the “brain” of your server and get a external enclosure to put your drives in.
