Even when you buy movies and TV boxsets in digital download forms from Amazon Video etc, you are still at the mercy of 1) needing somewhere to store it if you do choose to download it and 2) potentially losing access to it if the site/platform you purchased from has lost the license to host it (a common complain of the increasingly digital world of PC/Console gaming, as games are pulled from eStores). The rise in popularity of streaming platforms like Netflix has also been accompanied by rising monthly subscription costs and rising concerns about never truly owning the media that you want o watch. But does CPU power and storage make that much of a difference to Plex? And why would someone spend this much on a NAS just for Plex? The appeal of accessing all the movies, boxsets, music and home movies that you physically/digitally own in the style popularized by Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video (flashy GUI, summary, all the box art, trailers, cast details, reviews and more) is undeniable. The Synology DS3622xs+ NAS however tries to counter this, but providing one of the most powerful desktop NAS systems that the brand has ever produced and those looking for a powerhouse server for their Plex Media Server are likely to consider this beefy 12 bay NAS. However, despite this get reputation for software, the brand also has a reputation for providing slightly lukewarm hardware compared with alternatives from QNAP. The Synology NAS software DSM, which includes numerous fully features applications, is what keeps the brand at the top of people’s preferred home server lists.
Many users who are taking their first tentative steps into purchasing their own private server for multimedia use will have heard that when it comes to NAS brands, that Synology is pretty much the top dog.
