To NAS or not to NAS

#2
Yes, you could use any NAS for replacing your Plex server. Local streaming do not require transcoding.
You could also store your movies somewhere in the cloud if you wish.
Here is the internet speed you need for 1080p movie streaming from cloud:

Given that the movie is 90 minutes long and 1.5 GB in size, we can proceed with the calculation.

First, we need to convert the movie duration from minutes to seconds:

90 minutes = 90 * 60 = 5400 seconds

Next, we can calculate the data transfer rate:

Data Transfer Rate = File Size / Duration

Data Transfer Rate = 1.5 GB / 5400 seconds

To convert GB to MB, we need to multiply by 1024:

Data Transfer Rate = 1.5 GB * 1024 MB/GB / 5400 seconds

Data Transfer Rate ≈ 0.28 MB/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the data transfer rate for a 90-minute movie that is 1.5 GB in size is approximately 0.28 MB/s.
