Hi, I'm new to Plex, Video formatting and NAS Servers. Your website is incredibly helpful, though much of the technical comparative data is beyond me right now.
I am trying to set up a NAS based Plex server to host my own 4k home videos. They will only be accessed by an AppleTV, and the whole system will be wired on a 1 gbe network (though I may upgrade the network to 2.5 gbe within the year). I'm comparing the QANP TS-253E vs the Synology DS220+ (I know the later does not have 2.5gbe, but the cost difference is decent).
For my singular needs do you have a recommendation? Relatedly, is there a video format/resolution you would recommend to allow one or both of these options to perform well?
Thank you in advance
