Hi Guys,
I was wondering if someone could shine some light on what i am trying to achieve please.
I basically have an external 4TB HDD connected directly into my Nvidia Shield Pro and run a Plex as a server on it. Unfortunately one of my HDD's took a tumble and no longer works so i have had to re-rip the majority of my 4k Blu Ray discs. I was wondering if i should invest in something like a DAS or Nas to store all my content. I have watched a few videos on You Tube to try to get a better understanding of what route i want to go down but i'm not 100% sure what is the best route to take.
Do i invest in a Drobo or Synology type NAS and store all my content on there and then connect the NAS directly into the shield or purchase another WD 4TB hard drive and add my content on a new HDD as keep that as a backup in case the current HDD fails.
I have the shield hard wired via a home plug and hardly have any issues when watching 4k content via plex. I'm assuming this is due to the hdd being directly connected to the shield?
Is upgrading to a NAS worth doing or even maybe a DAS just for my movies and tv shows?
Am i better off just buying another HDD and backing all my content up and leaving that HDD to one side. I do tend to add content regularly so the HDD may fill up over the year.
Thanks in advance.
