DAS or NAS for an Arr Setup w/ Plex? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Looking for some advice on my journey to expand my local storage. Currently, I have a mini PC running my Arr setup with Plex and I have an external enclosure with a HDD connected through USB. I can reliably push 4K to my Android TV. This is the system's only use and purpose.

I need to continue to be able to Hardlink files so that I can seed back while Arr programs are sorting and renaming for Plex.

I'm not too concerned with a file backup solution or relying on this setup for sharing important files across my home network.

Would a DAS be sufficient for this? Is there any reason I should avoid this and invest in a NAS solution?

I may go down the DAS path then. I was eyeing a QNAP 4-Bay DAS. Perhaps a NAS later on if I'm in need of a home network storage solution that is a bit cleaner and user friendly.

Why QNAP over Synology?

[–] lessthanthree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No reason other than price. Everything I see listed for Synology is a NAS setup.

Qnap has had some MAJOR security issues. If you get it block the shit out of in. Meaning no way to let it in/out of your network.

Im a big fan of synology. Had a qnap and bolted after all thier crap. Syno interfaces are mich better imho

Any models of DAS that you recommend? Looking for a 4-Bay

Edit: Would security flaws be an issue for something like a DAS though? The DAS wouldn't have anything running on it. It would just be a big ol' dumb external HDD. Right?

Sorry cant help with das recco. Sabrent makes decent stuff i have a external that has 4 2.5 bays that i fill with older ssds when i cycle them out.

And yea a pure das should not be a secuiry issue
