Hi please can anyone recommend a good and reasonable priced NAS drive for PLEX to work with a Mac Studio M1 Max, Apple TV and Apple Vision pro.
Also , is there one that works with M4v files rather than MP4 files, as converting them all is a pain. Any help appreciated. Thank you

These are one and the same.
NAS drives are usually optimized for NAS use cases. I don’t have a good benchmark how they’ll perform on a desktop or workstation machine (e.g. when it’s not on/running 24/7 but will be powered for for power saving all the time).
Otto beat me to the mp4/m4v file question.
They’re the same with only some neglectable differences (Apple expanded the mp4 container with support for some additional metadata tags — though most apps will nowadays support those in the classic mp4 container).
Thanks, but in my experience most TVs will not accept M4v
This has nothing to do with Plex though, as it converts the container on-the-fly if necessary.
Also, the “conversion” of m4v to mp4 is a simple renaming of the file. It can be done super quick for dozens of files at once.
