Hello all, Thanks for the forum and I was extremely happy with the xpenology project for the past 10 years. I am seeking expert for the following questions which you may able to assist with my next build... Current own: (all NAS project) HP - N36L @ 4bay + 1 x 5.25 drive ( optional upgrade: can be a blu-ray drive / can be a 5.25 device to hold 4 x 2.5" bay drive to increase storage size) i5-650 @ 8 x 3TB + 2 x SSD 250GB as cache; 3xNIC 1GB bonding; * currently MAIN NAS usage: - 1TB: Main Share: (LMS - a lot of photo/video <--> SYNC with my iphone / ipad) - 1TB: Home Folder: (Moment / Drive / in total for about 400K photos needed to consolidate into photo station - another long waiting task) ; one-way sync to OneDrive/GDrive....as another backup; mobile devices backup - daily auto upload new captures photo/video; - 500GB: Video: (presentation videos) - 500GB: time-machine backup (may increase) - 300GB: Personal photos Ryzen 3600 | DDR4-32GB | B450M-gaming ac (plan to build the 3rd NAS to use this one as a SUPER FAST photo indexing machine) In the past, I use my HP N36L @DSM6.2 @ 4 x 3TB to server as an internal network file/ photo /movie share in one NAS; accessing it by DS photo/moment but speed is too slow. For time passes, like everyone does, storage increased and I have consolidate everything into the second NAS (the above 2.) My goal wanted to achieve (entertainment part):- Planing to do: Movies storage back into HP N36L - 1x3TB + 1x4TB + 1x8TB (I don't need raid) Question A). [Movies share] plan be move back to my HP-n36L - to access the movie database: if I play directly from the video station/ plex server; can I take the benefit on the h.264 hardware encoding ? as the n36l I own an GT720 pci-e or when I access my movies; I shall use a WIN10 pc + VLC / pot player / VODI to access the movies DB as my PC is with an GTX1050Ti ? will network speed affecting the playback quality ? Question B). Another Share will be to store pure FLAC music and stream across different devices. How to make "A ripping bluray / music" in one box to this task easier ? Photo fast indexing NAS (working part):- Planing to do: A) plan to move MOMENTs/ Photo Station onto the new Ryzen 3600 itx, but a lots of post to show the MOMENT software are build on INTEL CPU technology; so I was wondering should I make this move...? Plan to use this little beast to hold 8TB data + NVME m.2 as cache... will this accomplish my task ? Thank you very much..
