It's very unlikely that's a 'per port' rating. Your ISP speeds are surely that 1000down 45up rating you've been provided.

I'm fairly certain you might have a fundamental misunderstanding about the data path and speeds etc. Most of the reviews around these NAS devices talk about transcoding (which doesn't work, no question) and that kind of stuff, so i'm a bit lost here.

Question is, does somebody have expierences with these devices? I stream 4k content, but as said, no transcoding is needed for my clients to play these files (at least my Mac or PI4 didn't do any trancoding and direct play was always displayed on the clients). I know these are pretty cheap NAS without much power. I'm now looking into buying a cheap NAS as my plex server and took some time to read about the Synology DS218j and DS218play. Anyway, i use plex only in my home network and my clients don't need transcoding. Before i used a pi4 as the host, that worked also quiete well for me but was a bit hard to handle as i didn't had a seperated screen for the PI. Everything working smooth, but i like to give my Mac a break sometimes. I'm currently using my Mac as a Plex Server with an external hdd attached to it.

Looking for some help to upgrade my plex setup.

Or do i need to move up the food chain a bit? I figured by switching from macos to linux w plex and moving to an intel cpu with quicksync for multiple transcoding streams, i would free up some more horsepower? <- would something like this with linux, PMS work ok for perhaps me streaming locally and 2 remote streamers? set up instead of manually downloading media, manually organizing media and using filebot to rename? Ideally i'd like to finally get jackett, sonar, sanzdb, etc. It sits on my desk and periodically a remote family member will be streaming something and the fans kick up to 100% for the entire time they stream. I'm thinking of moving PMS over to a dedicated SFF unit attached to the RAID array to free up the mac mini. I do other stuff on the Mini it as well, like running qBitorrent and some other normal browsing, desktop type stuff.

Hi Plexians - I currently have a Plex Media Server late 2012 mac mini i7-2.3 Ghz quadcore w 16 Mb RAM, 2x internal SSD's totalling 1.5TB and the media libraries on an external RAID array w 8 TB capacity. I tried Optimizing Databases, on the NAS PMS it quickly shows complete, with no change, and on the Shield PMS it seems to lock up and times out. The videos will actually play, I just want things to be clean and correct. Even in the Plex web interface it shows up under the Shield Libraries. But now in Plex the data shows it is still under the Shield PMS. I then created the new PMS on the NAS and added the new Libraries pointed to the NAS. So I deleted the Plex Libraries to the Shield and started moving them to the NAS by Windows File Explorer, this was slow, so i ejected and attached the WD drive to a USB on the NAS and copied the existing folders using the NAS file management software. I read with Plex Pass I could have multiple servers, so I was going to keep one server running on the Shield (with little to no data, just the option to plug in a USB and move to the PMS Library), but the majority of data would be on the NAS.

I have PMS on a 2015 NVIDIA Shield, most (90%) of the media was stored on an external WD 2TB drive, after the recent Shield update that broke PMS for several days, I decided to move things to a Synology DS220+ NAS.
