NAS for data feeding a Plex Server

#1
Hi, I have a NUC8i3 running PMS, local database, no media data, with PlexPass and (USB) 2.5 Gb ethernet network connection combined with a DS1010+ (with a mix of SATA2 and SATA3 disks) connected by LAGG 2Gb eth. I would like to place my primary video and perhaps music library into a more powerful SATA6 based NAS with 2x1Gb LAGG or 2.5Gb etherent. I presume Music files demands are not an issue. I recognise that the PMS device should ideally be upgraded to improve 4k transcoding. That is a wip.

What NAS series or model (2-4bay) would you recommend for the data to maximise/optimise data transfer to the PMS? It runs as a pure NAS, no apps. Is 2.5Gb network connection sufficient between the PMS and NAS esp with increasing file sizes and the demands of 4K material. Do I have an issue that even needs solving?

Thanks in anticpation.
