Looking for a decent NAS to keep my sounds on plus streaming to my LG CX for videos/plex.
I'm not sure if I need on the fly transcoding as most of videos are already playable via Plex to my TV using my PC as the Plex server. I do however have a few video files that need to re-encode the audio on the fly.
I'm not looking for massive storage, 2 bays should be enough. A bonus would be the ability to run a torrent client (preferably ru/uTorrent and if even possible a small home hosted webpage.
Included drives aren't important as I already have drives, so just the enclosure really is needed.
I was looking at a Synology DS218+or a DS220+ but not sure if these fits the bill. Would it be able to transcode one 4k file being streamed or even manage to run a few torrents or a web page?
I know the QNap gear seems to offer good value but I'm completely at a loss.
Thanks in advance.
