Researching QNAP for Plex but will likely spin up some basic VMs on it over time (Home Assistant, etc.). I have 9 kids; 4 have moved out but would stream remotely. Video library is 99% H.264; assume I can make sure any additions are as well if this reduces transcoding? Worried about outgrowing the TS-464. Nearly got the TVS-h674-i3 but overkill? $1,700 before drives. Considered TVS-h474 but the PT CPU and I figured the larger chassis is better if a GPU (P2000) is ever needed. Think I've ruled out TVS-x72XT. Have 1Gbps fiber Internet and some hi-end networking gear (with several 10G & 2.5G ports available to the NAS). 25U Enclosed rack in basement so no noise concerns. Thoughts? I would populate the m.2 slots - but what do you think about SSDs for the main bays? Best RAID level for Plex performance? Using Ubiquiti UDM-SE Pro with NVR so I would likely not use it for cameras. Thanks!!!
