I’m Looking for some advice before I go purchase my Nas system to run my Plex Pass and Home Surveillance System witch I will buy after. Looking to record all 4 cameras on the nas. I’m looking to buy Synology DS418play at $599.99. I’m going to use 4 Seagate IronWolf Pro nas ST6000NE000 6TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives at $289.99. x 4 = $1,159.96 It comes with 2GB DDR3-1866 memory, which I plan on adding a Synology RAM DDR3L-1866 SO-DIMM 4GB (D3NS1866L-4G) sat $119.96 to make 6GB. Will this all run fast and work or do I need more. After watching lots of your videos am going to use SHR. I am looking to add a Synology M.2 Adapter Card (M2D18). I see online that using ssd to run my caching and transcoding will keep my system from bottle necking and buffering a lot. Or can I use an external 2tg hard drive to run the metadata / thumbnails. I’m not a tech guy at all, anything I learned here was from watching your videos. (Witch are great, and much appreciated.) I’m looking to spend $2,000.00 and need it to last for a long time. Thanks for any advice. Tim.
