Hi,
First of all, you are the best, I think you are the best content creator for this specific topic.
Currently I have a DS216j working with 2x2tb (raid 1), I bought 2x16tb in order to increase my media management, but since I will be starting from zero, I thought I should future proof my solution.
At the moment, I only use my NAS for data management and Plex. Plex is not a big issue since I have one of those really old lcd tvs (maybe it runs max 1080p), but I'd like to upgrade to a 4k in the future. All my media is being downloaded on 1080p since there is no reason to have 4k if I don't have a 4k TV.
Also, I'm planning to host a few minecraft and zomboid servers, therefore I will be using a few dockers.
I'm looking to either buy a DS920+ or DS923+, but the transcoding part got me confused. I've been reading a lot about it, but for me still not clear if I will be having an issue with 1080p files being streamed on a 1080p tv, or if I upgrade to a 4k tv, I will be having problems with a 1080p files.
Could you just tell me what should I just buy? thank you
