To be honest one is better off consooming less media, the colder the storage the better.

I don't use RAID but use 2 NAS with the secondary sync to the master on essential folders. I think this is far more reliable and lower long term cost than RIAD. Unlike RIAD all drives are r/w all the...

You are correct, you need a player which a lot of them can support all the standard formats. Two you need to be on the same network. Primarily most people only transcode if they are trying to view...

4 bays isn't what's limiting Plex. Pretty sure it's the weak processor and 1GB RAM that is limiting it.

You transcode pretty much anytime you send a file outside your home network, which for me is a ton of the time so transcode is not going away for a long long time.

Available bandwidth can affect whether Plex will transcode or not, I’m pretty sure that includes upload speed from the server. If you have a video with a 10 mbps bitrate, but are unfortunate...

I have the 431P2. Even with 4GB (memory upgradeable on that model) of memory, that one is still under power and very slow. I am using It as backup NAS now. Not recommend this model as main NAS too.

Jellyfin sounds cool, can’t believe I’d never heard of it. Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like it could be a real contender for Plex once client-side support improves.

I wonder how much longer transcoding will be necessary. My fire tvs play everything direct. And my phones play probably >80% directly with no transcoding needed.

For that price, one should get 453Be or better yet 453D. Even 253D is a better choice than 431, unless you really want RAID 5. I have 431P2, 453Be and 253D and I consider 431P2 a mistake purchase.
