Hi!
Love your helpful videos! Need advice on NAS setup for Plex and media storage with 4x20TB Ironwolf Pro HDDs (ST20000NT001). Considering Synology DS923+ or QNAP TS-464-8G.
Concerns:
1. Transcoding: Unsure if DS923+ is suitable despite benchmark testing.
2. RAID 1 - SHR1 vs. SHR2: Determine the better choice.
3. 10 Gbit/s: I don't believe currently needed for my use case.
4. Plex Lifetime Pass for hardware transcoding: Will purchase.
5. HDD compatibility: Conflicting info on 18 & 20TB compatibility with DS923+.
6. Noise: I have a suitable location for the NAS so noise is not an issue.
7. RAM: Minimum 8GB; plan to upgrade is there any product you specifically recommend depending ont he model I select
Notes:
- Usage: Youtube footage will be storage only. I work off my PC's project drive to edit.
