- wtallis 6y agoThis is complete overkill for anything resembling consumer NAS duty. It's far faster than any consumer-oriented networking equipment, and far more costly per byte than the cheapest consumer SSDs that still outperform your network. A drive like this is best suited for a workstation where large quantities of data are generated or processed locally.
- wil421 6y agoWhat kind of video files do you have on Plex that needs an NVME drive? 8k videos? The only time I max out my sata scratch drive is when I’m unpacking a video. Playing a 4K and a 1080p video at the same time barely spikes my ZFS pool on my NAS.
