New Plex Server... Hardware Opinions Needed!
Hey everyone, longtime reader first-time poster.
My wife and I have been toying with the idea of jumping fully into a dedicated Plex server for awhile. The fact that our external hard drives are full, I think now might be the best time to go ahead and do it.
I've been looking at a bunch of threads, and even though I think I know what hardware we need, it would be great if someone else could take a look at our potential build. We are primarily Windows users and have no Linux experience to go into Docker or any of that. I know we will probably utilize the *arrs as they seem incredibly useful and will speed up our process immensely!
For the build we are looking at a mini-pc with a DAS or NAS. At this time, based on our limited knowledge, I think a DAS might be better as neither of us has built a PC before, or done any hardcore coding.
Mini-PC: Beelink S12 Pro Mini with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD

DAS: Terramaster D4-320

Probably going to start off with two Seagate BarraCudas 8TB

Any and all feedback is appreciated!
