Ok thanks alot. I will not order anything yet until I get my new system up and running and have a play with it first. I may get back to you incase I need further advice. Thanks

Thanks, can you recommend a quality Ssd drive and capacity plz. My PC just arrived, its a beast, will post pics once setup!

Ah get it so I need the NAS HDD one to store media and the SDD to run application Plex?

Im confused didn’t you state ‘getting a dedicated drive to install it to and host the database’ ? and is the hard drive link above a NVME SSD drive? Will my PC have space for another of these drives,? My second drive is 2TB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3500MB/sR | 2700MB/sW) in my setup.

Ok well the NAS drive would be just for this purpose so I could install Plex on this. Im am going to do some further googling on this as this is all alien territory for me especially Plex. But this definitely is a cheaper alternative. Does your stream 4k without any issues?

Right so that would slot into my PC and Plex would act like a server? Sorry im asking again if you don’t mind any links to which you recommend on Amazon? I’ll consider 4 -6-8 tb capacity depending on price. So far I have brought stuff on recommendations from here and would like the same if...

Which NAS drive/setup would you recommend then? Any links?costs? As long its good for 4k , it would be ideal. Il check Plex out.

Can hard drives be added later say if I bought a bay which takes 4 drives and I initially bought 1 hard drive with it, that would bring the initial cost down? my other alternative would be to buy a quality external SSD , xfer the media and plug that in my TV/media players.

Wow and there’s me looking at WD mycloud ex2 thinking that will do that job. Maybe I should scrap that idea ? That cost is insane for a hobby

Hi All I wasn’t sure which section to post this. I am wanting to purchase a NAS drive/bay. This is purely to stream/watch HD and 4k content over my smart TV/media player/firestick/ipad after video editing on PC. I know they can get expensive so I am not entirely sure what my budget is yet to...

Yes monitors all setup. I did pay £59 extra for this quick turnaround lol. I will post pics. As I have started looking at NAS drives , looks like I will be spending yet more! , but I think it will complete my system! I just need to ensure the NAS is powerful enough to stream 4k content. If you...

My PC arrives today actually, super excited. I may look into a external NAS drive once all is set up.

Sorry I didn’t realise you had already responded. Thanks for clearing that up I actually thought you could get internal NAS drives fitted into a PC that you can access via your network. I understand it now. I have learnt so much within a few days!

You mentioned NAS drive. I am also thinking of buying an external or internal NAS drive to store my family 4k videos and stream/watch these i.e firestick or other media players using Kodi etc. My question is will this work? Will I be able to play these files effectively over the network ? I do...

Thanks for merging this question to my original thread here. It would be great to get some responses regarding this.

This drive was previously used for storage only, theres no OS on it.

Not sure which format it is but I think it would be FAT32, its a 10 year old drive. I could always install it, transfer everything over to new and remove it. Proving it allows me to do that with the format complications.

Hi guys Just ordered a top spec PC mainly for video editing. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/bsxmPVAvP4/ I am thinking of buying an external or internal NAS drive to store my family 4k videos and stream/watch these i.e firestick or other media players using...

I am planning to install my old1TB hard drive (1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)) from my old PC to the new one and transfer all the video files over to the new storage hard drive, the old drive is nearly full. If I leave the drive in the new PC will this likely...

Okay that should be fine with large filed
