Hello everyone.
I'm very very new to all this. I have not done any networking in a very long time (10+ years). I'm looking to run Plex to stream all my pictures and videos (DVD and Blu-Ray) to my TV's throughout my house. Could possibly stream to 4 different TV's simultaneously. Mostly on Apple platform (iPhones, iPads, Apple TV's) so I would assume not a ton of transcoding but possibly some.
On top of storing all my media and being a media server, I also want to use my NAS as file backup with redundancy and I want to use it as my families personal cloud storage system.
I guess my main concern is... Will FreeNAS handle all of these task appropriately? I have read many threads in FreeNAS having issues with the Plex plug in. What's the truth with this?
Thanks for your input everyone. Just want to get my info in order and a good understanding before I build my system and start squiring hardware.
