January 10, 20188 yr Hi Guys, Need some advices here… I need to change my custom built NAS (need a smaller device) with the following configuration: Surfing around I come across the ASUSTOR that apparently can run Unraid on its machines quite easy. I am oriented to the Asustor AS7010T either i5 or i3 CPU version (even the Asustor AS6210T can be an option). Since I do not have too much knowledge on the hardware side I would like to receive some advices about this option. Basically I will use the NAS with Plex (most of the video content is 1080 HD or 4K), I will use it as a download station (Torrent and JDownloader) and as backup storage for my photos and videos. Any idea appreciated
January 10, 20188 yr How many streams are you wanting to support? Those CPU's might support one stream but you'd need to leave some CPU horsepower to run the NAS too.

Hardware transcoding is the way forward, making this whole 2000 CPUMarks per transcode a thing of the past. To answer the OP, yes it'll work fine. Just modprobe the Intel GPU drivers, and pass it though to the Plex Docker, job done.
