I've been running Xpenology for a while now (and love it!) mainly to use as a server for my media files, using Plex Media Server on the device and the Plex app on the devices where I want to play the media files (on the same network). (For completeness, running as a DS3615XS and DSM 6.2.2-24922 update 4).
Now I'd like to provide a bit more power to the system to support transcoding.
As I currently have the G1610T processor, I am considering these options:
Replace the CPU by a compatible Xeon E3 with included GPU (support Intel Quick Sync)
Add a compatible GPU
Both of the above :)
I was wondering which of the options above would be best, and which of those would support hardware acceleration support?
