I'm currently running a DS114 NAS to store films, home video, and music. For video it does not have the power to run the Plex server so I have Plex running on my PC. The net result is that my PC has to be on to watch a movie etc. Not ideal, especially as Windows struggles to maintain the drive mapping to the NAS!
So, I'm looking to upgrade the NAS to one that can run Plex. It seems the DS218 might be a suitable candidate, especially as I'm using free Plex and therefore unable to take advantage(?) of hardware transcoding. The only doubt I have is whether there is any value in spending more to get the DS718 ?
Also, final question... I'm hoping I can simply move the drive from the DS114 to the new NAS? That's how they're supposed to work, isn't it?
Many thanks |
