Plex? Before you buy your NAS look here

Post by MikeG.6.5 »

If you intend to use your NAS as a Plex Media Server, look at this document before you decide which NAS you want to buy. This gives you an idea of what each of Asustor's models are capable of doing with regards to transcoding with all of Asustor's current models.

As you can see here, it's listing only one series of NAS as being capable of handling 1080p transcodes using Plex Media Server. This is with the current Plex Transcode engine. If you are trying to do high bitrate media or VC-1 encoded media, expect even the 700xT series to have issues.
