Hi,
long time viewer of your channel. I run an 8 bay Synology with 60tb (30tb used) at my home.
However i like to keep my media on my boat as well for watching plex on a weekend.
I'm currently using an i5 NUC with 2 usb hard disks which looks a mess and is not ideal.
My biggest issue when choosing a NAS is finding one that has a low power consumption (as this has to run off batteries, with no shore power only solar and alternator for charging) and one that can handle plex ok with maybe 1 transcode sometimes necessary for 480p mpeg files.
I have just discovered the Asustor Lockerstor 2 which seems to use less power than my current NUC setup. Would my best option be this model with 2 18/20tb drives?
Thank you.
