Forgive me for asking a dumb question, but why is this considered "diskless"? I'm a newb when it comes to a NAS/enclosure.

If you rip a 4k movie then try to play it on your cell phone, your phone can't play 4k. So your server would need to transcode the video down to a lower quality.

I think that article is about the J and Play models. Both of those have Realtek arm processors.
This is the Plus which has a Celeron. It should support hardware transcoding in Plex.
