Top 3 NAS Drives for Plex Media Server for £2000​


The one barrier that stands between you and your perfect Plex media server is the amount you are prepared to pay for the hardware that the server utilizes and, in short, the scale of the NAS drive you purchase. NAS Drives have fast become one of the most popular ways in which people create their own ‘set-up and forget’ Plex media server and previously we have discussed the best Plex Nas for £500-1000.

The table is correct in this situation. This CPU is shit for transcoding and any other form of Plex usage other than direct play.

If we put that quote in terms that go beyond Plex, that might be correct (in the DS segment).
