With that in mind is it worth looking at a NAS that supports this for my use case? It seems like no smaller ones support it and there's a significant price bump to finding one that does, so I suspect 'no' but thought I'd ask.Ģ) Between the two models, assuming no major price difference, the AS5202T seems like it should be slightly better performance wise and supports a higher RAM capacity (if it's even worth upgrading?). I do have a couple questions for those of you who are wiser in the ways of NAS than I ġ) I have a spare WD black PCIe 512GB SSD (older gen), I've read that some NASs can use an M2 SSD for cacheing. NAS will be placed right beside my network hub under the stairs so size/noise isn't a factor. I will store some records and documents (company tax, expenses, etc) there as well but I also have those backed up on dropbox and onedrive so it's not essential that the NAS is a 'failure proof' storage. I've mostly got 1080p content, but will probably start using 4K at some point. Use is mostly going to be for Plex and as a network/remote drive.

I'm considering grabbing either a Synology DS220+ or Asustor AS5202T to use as a NAS and plex server.
