My 10 year old (almost) TQNAP TS-453 died.. no power coming in. The HDD are fine. I am just gonna get this and redo my RAID and setup a new NAS. hopefully this will last more than 10 years.

In my case I will have to just build it as new. Since my old model is not compatible with this model. You have to go through this page to view compatibility

I currently have a qnap, but I'll have to keep an eye on the Asustor line in the future. Also need to check out their OS see what that is like.

The key thing here is that the Asustor has been out for over 2 years and $450 is its regular price. Along comes Qnap now with a similar product and asking $660 after discounts. You can decide how much the extra hardware in the Qnap is worth to you but as a home user I personally wouldn't pay a $200 premium for it. Even if I wanted the extras, this price is not a hot deal. And a pre-discount price of $780 is simply ludicrous.

Is Plex Media Server on a NAS Right for Me? [plex.tv]
CPUs in NAS
The CPUs used in most home or small-business NAS are not particularly powerful. Only some NAS will be capable of good performance when transcoding 720p type content. Very few NAS will be able to do so for 1080p type content.
Also bare in mind that your NAS is normally the guardian of your data. To load it up with apps that suck up a lot of resources puts your data at risk of loss or corruption.
