Hey everyone 
I’ve been a happy Plex user for a couple of years now and we recently upgraded our server from a half broken MacBook to a Synology DS916+ 8GB (with about 12TB of media files). When using Direct Stream, or 1 Full HD transcode tops that works okay xD
However, since I’m thinking of getting one of those sweet 4K OLED screens, it’d be cool to watch 4K content on Plex. I already got some 4K movies, but when testing on a friends 4K tv I found out the Synology doesn’t handle it well (which was to be expected).
Another thing: I’m moving out in about 6 months and our current upload speed is 40 Mbps (and we literally cannot get anything higher atm, we won’t get fibre until 2020) so I will need to get another Plex server (for my place, the Synology will be more than enough for my parents xD). Otherwise I’ll just drain their upload speed which I think is not that kind 
I’ve thought about Plex Cloud, but it seems that the maximum storage solution is 1TB at the moment, which is not even close to what I need (12TB at least).
So, the main question: what server to buy!?
I want it to transcode at least 1 4K stream (lot of the files are HEVC…), or 3-4 Full HD streams. I literally have no idea on where to start. I read somewhere that I should aim for a 10.0000 passmark…?
Storage it not an issue, I’ve got an old NAS (WD EX4) laying around with 4 4TB drives in it, so that’s plenty for now. I could also just use the hard drives for the new server.
I don’t mind spending > €1000 if that’s what it takes to get one that I can rely on for several years.
I came across the Acer Aspire TC-780 Core i7. Maybe that could be an option, it exceeds the 10.000 passmark 
(it is a desktop model though)
Btw: we use a great variety of clients. (browsers, Apple TV, Playstation, Xbox, smart tv platforms, iOS, Android, PlexPi, etc…)
Any other solution is more than welcome as well 
Many thanks in advance!
