Plex Cloud Alternative - ReadyNAS NAS Storage
Barb Gonzalez of SoundAndVision.com posted a great article about using ReadyNAS NAS Storage as an alternative to the soon-to-be-canceled Plex Cloud. We've posted a few snippets below. Read...
Cool, I have to pay more attention to readycloud. I'm stuck in the google drive universe.
netgear needs a new readynas hardware refresh with a Version 6 (Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake) quick sync supported intel cpu, for 4k hardware transcoding support from plex.
Then you would have an ultimate plex server.
Direct 4k streaming (not transcoding) will work great from most os6 devices, but 4k content has exploded and while storing the content on a nas is great, not every client/tv device supports 4k and will need transcoded down to 1080 or 720.
Not to mention mobile streaming, no one is going to be direct streaming 4k from home to mobile over LTE any time soon, mobile streams will need transcoding support, and intel quicksync is the simplest way to get plex hardware transcoding support.
Netgear product development, are you listening!?!?
