Hoping to set up a general location to throw files.

It might be used as a storage dump for Plex too…

Recommendations?

Edit: the synology recommendations have won out. Went with the DS923+. Thanks for all of the thoughtful recommendations!

      My (albeit, somewhat older) j model hits 100% cpu just logging into the web UI. Synologys are nice, but definitely stay away from their budget models.

      you can run plex on a potato as long as you don’t need to transcode anything

        True, but as tarjeezy says just the UI spiked the CPU. I upgraded from a J to a + last year and the extra bucks were worth it.
