DS918+ or XPEnology? in The Noob Lounge Posted April 2, 2020 Hello. I'm thinking of getting a DS918+ for running Plex with transcoding. Mostly 1080p x265 but also some 4k. My question is, will a XPEnology be a much better choice? I'm thinking like a 8th gen cpu, maybe an i5 8400/8600k with some decent ram etc. Could someone maybe also point out a good motherboard that supports 6.2 with no problems? Preferably ASUS (couse I like ASUS :D) or ASROCK? I have basic knowledge to linux/dsm as I now own a DS418j. Sadly this is good for only sharing files and nothing more. Thanks :)
