QNAP TVS-882BRT3 I7 32 The NAS I’m interested in, is the QNAP TVS-882BRT3-ODD-I7-32G-US. It didn’t make your best top 3 list, nor is it on the list of QNAP NAS devices that can hardware transcode, so I’m hesitant to buy it before asking a few questions. So my question is: 1. Can the QNAP TVS-882BRT3-ODD-I7-32G-US, […]
My goal is: Storage solution for personal files, Storage solution for Plex, Capable of handling transcoding to 1-3 people simultaneously (rarely do my family and I overlap watching plex, but it has happened – and I want to accommodate that possibility, however rare) My original plan was just to buy the QNAP TVS-882, but the price kept […]

Hi there i have seen alot of older linkstation had support in some way for running a plex server on. I am just wondering if the linkstation 520D supports PLEX server? and if so how? many thanks Luke Fawcett This NAS features Realtek CPU which officially is still not supported by plex. There is alfa/beta […]
I am interested in setting up a NAS, for primarily backup and media. I plan to install STB emulator and/or Kodi and Plex. I have two WD30EURS which i think will work with most NAS (not verified by either). I plan to start with a four bay NAS using my two 3T hard drives then […]
I’m looking for the best suitable NAS for me. I’d like to use it for photo storage and movies. I’d like to use PLEX with a chromecast and a FULLHD televisor. I found at a good price the Synology DS218J but I don’t understand if the CPU of this NAS will be enough to play […]
Rackmount NAS for Plex. I’m wondering if there are any rackmount NAS with HDMI 2.0? If not, what is the best rackmount NAS that I can transcode 4K with using Plex? You are probably interested in HDMI 2.0 because this is a requirement for 4K HDR streaming. But the answer is – none. There is […]

So, I’m looking to finally make the move to a proper NAS as all my IT buddies have been suggesting for YEARS, and consolidate the mess of data that is spread across 10 externals that could probably fail any day. Between years and years of digital photography (all RAWs), a re-ripping project of my 2000+ CD […]

I currently have a QNAP TS-659Pro which is starting to get a bit long in the tooth. I have 6x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives inside. I use it as a Plex server mainly, fortunately, we rarely need to transcode as we send the data to an Android TV with Plex (which appears to have most […]
I have taken your advice onboard and are now upgrading my network to 10gbe. My question today is regarding qnap ts 963x (or equiv 9 bay from them) as a photographer and video editor I feel this is the nas for me due to the nas having 10gbe built in (1 less 10gbe thing to […]

I am interested in a NAS drive mostly for Plex 4k, HDR, H.265 formats. Most often I will be streaming to a Nvidia Shield so I know I will not need transcoding for that device. I will sometimes stream to my cell phone remotely over the internet and at a friends house in a different […]
I ended up ordering the new qnap switch for my house but realize I probably would have been better off with a managed switch with link aggregation. This is for my home drive and speed is important. I am hoping to connect through 10gbe and a drive with link aggregation. But I also realize that […]
I’ve noticed that it has difficulty transcoding video files on PLEX (CPU maxes out) and that browsing photos (especially larger photo libraries) can be a long drawn out affair! I’m also needing more space (currently have 4 x 6TB drives, RAID 5). Can you recommend a suitable upgrade (i.e. a new NAS) that would solve […]
