I wish someone made a kit to turn them into external enclosures.
Plex is the only goal. This would be purely dedicated. It will be for myself and for others so the need to transcode is possibly there (since not every device can do direct streaming) My preference would be a maximum of 7 drives (8TB each) with another for redundancy. As to speed, since Plex is the only need, I'm fairly sure it's not an issue and would be using SATA (non SSD) drives.synology and qnap are both limited ultimately. What are your goals besides plex. How many drives, what kind of speeds needed, and what redundancy if any?
Sorta this. Swap out the Ryzen with anything that supports Intel QuickSync, so that you can do hardware en/decoding. That will *greatly* reduce your CPU requirements for transcoding. And then use SnapRAID for the backup, but you're going to want two parity drives instead of one.Ryzen whatever in a dedicated PC.
Then use Stablebit Drivepool for the storage drives.
Anyone want my old Verizon MoCA gear? It's yours for shipping.
edit: Got 2 Actiontec routers.
