Hello!
Interested in doing the " 6-bay Mini-ITX NAS" build, and I was looking for feedback considering JDM_WAAT mentioned he was building one for himself. Basically looking to check on 2 things:
-
How has the system been? Could it support 3-4 transcodes with subtitles on plex?
-
Anything you would change now that its been close to half a year later? (my budget for this thing is up to $800 not including drives)
Thanks!
In case anyone wants a refresher, heres the build from the guide.
