    Do you guys already have a NAS? Do you use it for Plex or media streaming?

    Thanks for this video. After getting everything setup. How do you get your media (movies/tv shows)? Is it DVDs or downloads. Any specific site recommendations

    If you have a modern PC and phone, do you need transcoding? Can that be done on the client?

    What’s the maximum storage capacity for a single hard drive and the maximum capacity using all 4 bays? I’m planning on using it to store media content only.

      I have the 923+ with two 12tb and two 4tb running SHR. This gives about 17.4TB usable space.

    Which is more faster in transcoding , Plex on Synology or pc ?

    • @NicoKnowsTech

      Depends on the PC. If the PC has a beefy Graphics Card it could transcode faster

    A couple quick things. Disable the admin account as soon as you create a secondary admin user. Same for the guest account. They are security holes that can and will be exploited. No matter how secure your network is. Second, the DS923+ is not a good choice as a media server. The ryzen chip is not designed for transcoding. If you want to run Plex on a synology, get one with an intel chip. You will put way more ware and tear on the appliance than you need to. The Ryzen based units are designed for storage and virtualization, not media. Look at the cpu usage while watching something. It will be pegged to 100% the entire time and begin to cook itself. You are better off running plex on an old laptop than on the 923.
    Good easy to follow video and a good start into the world of Synology though.
