Which unit to buy RN628X vs RN528X & RR4312X ?
Trying to decide between these 3 models ... does the RN528x have enough CPU /ram power for 4K Transcoding & PLEX Server? as it seems to have less RAM/CPU whereas the RR4312X /RN628X both have similar...
If you're wanting to do real-time transcoding you should go with the RN628X. It depends on various factors about the video how well it would work.
If just needing to transcode for e.g. syncing to a tablet (a Plex Pass feature) then it taking longer is not as big an issue.If you just need to stream (not transcode) then it shouldn't matter which you go with.
Why do you not create a catalogue of properties your future nas should have and evaluate those three models against that? For example for each of the desired properties you could have a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10 points.
Once you ran through the evaluation you could build the sum of points for each model on your list and you will hopefully see a clear winner.
In case you want to finetune the evaluation process you might give each and every desired property a different scale. Sometimes between 0 and 10, or 0 and 100, even from 0 to 1000. The scale should depend on the importance of a certain property to your desired ReadyNAS.
