Hi
I have been using an external hard drive to watch movies and TV, starting to outgrow this set-up.
Would like to get a NAS drive + use it as a media server to run Plex. After doing some research on the "off the shelf" NAS drives it seems they are not really up to it.
I might be up for building something myself although I have no real experience with this. Can you buy something that will do what I want in a stand alone box?
I will be mainly using it for Media locally but will also use it to back up files and would like the option of accessing it remotely.
I think a drive 4/5 bay is what I want with the RAID type set-up.
If I build something myself will I have to buy an operating system?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
