I enjoy your informative youtube videos. I am contemplating on purchasing a Synology NAS on Cyber Monday. I am actively considering between Synology DS120j and Synology 220j. I only have 50 GB in files on my 4 home computers (2 desktops and 2 laptops). I would like to set up a Plex server. I would only steam to one television (1080p) and/or 1 desktop at a time. Would Synology DS120j be suficient to work as a Plex server?! I will likely converty my collection of 75 dvds into a digital format. Would Synology DS120j be suficient?

Yea the 120j should be fine here. Plex will be limited, I think transcoding will be limtied, but dvds and 1080p should be fine.

 

The big reason to go 220j here is so you can go raid 1 so there is no downtime if a disk fails.

 

Id just make sure to back the nas up so its no the only copy of your data.
