Need advice for a NAS that can run PLEX media server and "serve" media which is a mixture of 4K HDR and 1080P movies and TV shows over a home network to an Nvidia Shield TV (hardwired) and 4 No. 4K Firesticks (Wifi). Only the Nvidia Shield would require 4K HDR as the Firesticks are connected to 1080P Televisions.
Currently running WDMyclould Mirror 2 bay with 4TB spanned over 2 x 2TB hard drives as storage only with the Nvidia Shield running the PLEX server side of things. I have also got on order 2 x 4TB WD RED PLUS hard drives which I'm going to use to expand my current NAS's storage as I'm starting to run low on space.
Would like something with 4 No. Bays minimum so I can expand as the media library grows. I would like to re-use the current 2 TB drives if possible as well as the 2 x 4TB on order.
Movie and TV show file formats are a mixture of H.264 and HEVC.
Hope this makes sense!?
Thanks in advance.
