Hoping to set up a general location to throw files.
It might be used as a storage dump for Plex too…
Recommendations?
Edit: the synology recommendations have won out. Went with the DS923+. Thanks for all of the thoughtful recommendations!

I could actually recommend the synology DS220J. super simple, cheap, can run your plex server on it so it’s not tied to your main pc.
You’ll outgrow it quickly but you’ll know exactly what you want in your next nas or if you want to build one instead.
The J can barely run Plex
you can run plex on a potato as long as you don’t need to transcode anything
True, but as tarjeezy says just the UI spiked the CPU. I upgraded from a J to a + last year and the extra bucks were worth it.
My (albeit, somewhat older) j model hits 100% cpu just logging into the web UI. Synologys are nice, but definitely stay away from their budget models.
