In any case, the point is, I 100% agree with what you’re saying, but you should think about your specific usage pattern before jumping into a NAS only solution any cheap NAS is going to have an underpowered CPU and not be capable of any significant real-time transcoding. This has more or less already happened:. Should be any time now I’d wager. Personally, I like the Plex model of server/client. I have many different devices and I love that there’s a Plex client for all of them. I also paid for a Plex Pass many years ago, so I have the option to pre-transcode and sync to my portable devices pretty brainlessly.
