Plex Media Server is available for other NAS devices, but it would be nice if it was available as a DroboApp. I’d like to upgrade to a Drobo 5N, and it would be great if I could eliminate the Mac mini I have dedicated to running PMS.

5N still uses an ARM CPU so there would be no trans-coding functions available

Transcoding aside, [the Drobo website FAQ](http://www.drobo.com/products/faq-drobo-5n.php) makes it sound like this won't be happening:
