4 bays? What? I have 32 TB in mine (24 after RAID) and it's plenty. Some have nearly 50 TB in theirs. Do you mean RAM?

There are many reasons why transcoding occurs. Your upload bandwidth, the codec compatibility of the playback device, and quality setting of the playback device. I have over 20 people on my Plex,...

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.

The 4K videos range from 10GB to nearly 50GB. And to clarify, if 8TB drives like I bought years ago isn't sufficient, START with 12/14/16 (which are more the norm than 8TB drives nowadays anyway)....

It is never a good idea to mix size capacity in these type of raid sysyem. SHR is raid using a feature in standard raid systems but not recommended by any means for use.
