  • My family/friends uses it on TV all they do is scan the qr code on plex and it logs them in and basically keeps them logged in forever. On jellyfin it logs out randomly. I run a dedicated Nas with 40tb half filled with media. I started on jellyfin and switched over to plex and never looked back. Just the fact that half the people in my replies think the main use case is on a Pc tells you everything you need to know. It’s perfectly fine for tech literate people for everyone else plex is superior.






  • I use asustor Nas, one at my house south east US, one at my sister’s house northeast us. The asus os takes care of the backup every night. It’s not cheap but if you want it done right.

    Both run 4 drives in raid 5. Pictures backup to the hdd and a raid 1 set of nvme in the nas. The rest is just movies and TV shows for plex so I don’t really care about those. The pictures are the main thing. I feel like that’s as safe I can be.








  • Get a used asustor or synology box on ebay and get the certified refurbished drives that Seagate sells directly. While you can build your own using zfs like others have mentioned to me the cost savings wasn’t worth it. I use mine for backups I don’t want the most important part of my chain to get fucked up because of something I did or didn’t do properly. I went with asustor which has a ton of one click install apps and brain dead easy backup to another asustor I have set up across country at a family members house.
