Hi everyone. I have an old Mac Mini that i've been using for plex and attached to it is 4 external hard drives and its starting to max out. I was wondering what type of Synology NAS you'd recommend. I want something that is 8 bay? Do I need a powerful NAS when my mac mini is doing all the transcoding? and the NAS is just a network storage? or does the NAS spec needs to be decent so it wouldn't be slow finding the file and sending it across the network? Looking at getting 6x - 22TB Seagate Exos for now and another 2 later down the line. unless you have another suggestion that is better. Thank you!
