Hi everyone,
So I want to be able to stream to multiple users potentially at same time at 1080p. I currently have about 7tb of content on external drives. I want to move it all into one location so plex can just pick it up. From what i've read i'm thinking I want a diy nas to store my stuff and then a pc that will have plex media server. But i'd like to know some trusted components that you guys use or recommend. Or a more suitable setup.
Some goals this system should accomplish:
- Stream/transcode 1080p to min 3 users local and remote combination.
- Store lots of data (have 7tb of data, expect this to grow) so needs to be scalable to add more space
- Have some good backup (RAID or other solutions)
I expect i will get 3 4tb HDD for storage and an extra one or two for RAID backup. So with that in mind the budget is £1000 - £2000.
I expect that I could easily be having 5-7 users top.
I really want to know case, ram, cpu, hdd which ones to go for.
Thanks
