My Home Assistant setup is slowly but surely growing. I have seen good reviews about Synology NAS systems, and the vast majority of my use of Plex will be local on my home network, but there will be times when I will want to access it remotely, and while I currently do not have any 4k movies, I want to start going in that direction and want to try to future-proof my setup for 4k if at all possible without adding a ridiculous extra cost. Every time I Google this question it only ever talks about having the Plex server itself on SSD vs HDD. One question I had about Plex specifically is I cannot find anywhere if people recommend keeping the actual storage (the movie/audio files themselves) on an SSD vs HDD.
#Best nas for plex pro#
I would like to keep my Home Assistant and Plex Server on a single device (as well as maybe a few other things in the future such as security camera backup) if possible but was also looking at an Nvidia Shield Pro for the Plex server alone. I have never used Docker before but I think I could probably figure it out.
I am currently looking at most likely setting up a NAS of some kind. I am not super comfortable with tinkering with hardware such as flashing an OS on a light or switch though. I get overwhelmed with a lot of new information at once but I can follow online guides pretty well even if they are not fully up to date. I am looking for advice on hardware for these. I have been using a Pi 3 with microSD card and while I have not had any issues so far, everything says the SD card will fail eventually so I want to move onto something a bit more robust.Īt the same time, I have been looking to move into Plex and set up a home media server for quite some time to rip by close to a thousand DVD/Blu Rays as well as all of my music, and was thinking about killing two birds with one stone. I have been messing around with only the very basics of Home Assistant for about a year now but I am ready to take the plunge and invest a bit more into some real hardware. I have searched the forums and found some relevant advice but it all seems to be a year or more old and I am worried a lot of the information may be obsolete.
