Take a look at this discussion thread. You can list any specs you’re considering to build your FreeNAS system and the community will give you some feedback.
Start by looking through this thread and search “plex” in the search bar. It should get you started! Hope this helps. https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?forums/will-it-freenas-freenas-build-discussion.70/

I’m looking to do streaming video for multiple users transcoding in 4K H.264, H.265 videos on-the-fly as well as playback. I will certainly be using Plex server on it for all users with their devices.
I’m looking for the specs or of the best setup on mini ITX or micro ATX depending on the recommendation and I have a hard time finding the requirements of hardware to do this setup. Any ideas or recommendations.
Any help will be welcome
Thanks a lot

Can FreeNAS take advantage of a MB mounted TPM and SEDs? In this scenario, FreeNAS would not even be “aware” that the drives are encrypted. Isn’t this the best approach for whole drive encryption?
