What top-end NAS for Plex 4K

#2
For your requirements of using Plex for 4K movies and high-resolution photos, local streaming will not require transcoding, so you have more flexibility in choosing a NAS. The DS1821+ or other options could suit your needs. However, if you plan on remote streaming, transcoding will be necessary, and for that, a Xeon-based NAS like the DS1823xs+ would be more suitable. It's worth noting that current models like the DS1522+ might be overkill for Plex, but it's always good to consider potential future needs, so waiting for the 2024 lineup is an option too. With a budget of 2000 Euro and a storage requirement of 30 TB, you have plenty of good options from the current lineup that should serve you well, even if you decide to start with a smaller capacity and expand later. Happy choosing!
