Intel i7 rackmount server for 4K PLEX

Intel i7 rackmount server for 4K PLEX

I am looking to buy a rackmount NAS to replace my current Plex server. I am relatively early into my Blu-Ray ripping, and so far I have skipped my UHD media. However, I have learned that with Intel Quick Sync Video enabled processors 4K hardware transcoding shouldn’t be a problem. I like the flexibility of Synology Hybrid RAID, but definitely can be persuaded otherwise.

I know sinology hybrid RAID is tempting, but they ignore people demands for multimedia NAS. So they don’t make many options with Quick Sync.
There is DS918+ which can easily cope with Plex 1080 transcoding, but will strugle with 4K (Video station would not be a problem).
But if you really need 4K Plex NAS, it will need to be i7 based NAS like tvs-972xu.
