DAS or NAS for an Arr Setup w/ Plex? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Looking for some advice on my journey to expand my local storage. Currently, I have a mini PC running my Arr setup with Plex and I have an external enclosure with a HDD connected through USB. I can reliably push 4K to my Android TV. This is the system's only use and purpose.

I need to continue to be able to Hardlink files so that I can seed back while Arr programs are sorting and renaming for Plex.

I'm not too concerned with a file backup solution or relying on this setup for sharing important files across my home network.

Would a DAS be sufficient for this? Is there any reason I should avoid this and invest in a NAS solution?

That sounds fine. The only concern is the sub speed? As long as it can handle everything… yeah cool.

I’ve got my seed box on a pi4 separate from my Plex server, but it really should be fine without a NAS.

The real question is are you backing up?

USB speed? Everything has been completely fine with the USB enclosure I have it running on right now.

I'm not doing any backups with this setup. This would solely be for media that will be streamed through Plex. While having a drive fail will be annoying, it wouldn't be catastrophic as nothing personal or important would be stored here. I would rely on the Arr setup to rebuild.

Honestly, I'm just trying to squeeze out any HDD space I can use. I'm trying to keep the cost down where I can.

Use a das and run mergerfs if on linux. Makes all the drives look like one big one
