That processor has the integrated graphics, so if you have plex pass and use hardware transcoding it will be offloaded to the integrated gpu. if most of your work is direct stream, youll be fine. ...

Different raid controller, so you would have to back up your data elsewhere and install fresh in the qnap.

Running three streams without transcoding isn't demanding at all. If only one needs to be converted, this will handle it fine.

Exactly. I grabbed 6 and shucked them in about 10 minutes. Easy peasy.
I have a 32gb set of DDR4 coming in the next few days that I will test in this to see if it flies.

You can mix different size drives - they just default to the lowest size drive for the raid.

I think you’d be asking a lot of any NAS with that kind of use. With that kind of load your cheapest option would be to build a machine. Rule of thumb is cpumark of 2000 per simultaneous 1080 stream.
