Ed, thank you so much, really really helpful
I’d be happy with either the TS-873A, TS-873XU (couldn’t find that then I googled) or the TS-664
I like the idea of having 8 bays but if Transcoding would be better with the TS-664 I’ll probably go with that
In this regard, which one of them would perform better for transcoding 4K videoed in Plex?
A lot of my movies are 4K, but a few of my TVs are still 1080p. I’ve also got a house full of kids so I often have a few streams going at once
Regarding testing the drives, I’m worried about having them up for extended periods of time running a disk check with a missing disk in the raid 5. Vital files are backed up already, I planned to copy the rest to a few 20Tb drives and then transfer the5 disks to a new NAS
When setting up the new NAS I plan on installing a Asda’s storage pool one for the apps
But before all that I’m going to buy a UPS
Thanks very much
Ron
