I want to make a plex nas so I don't have to deal with Netflix and streaming services, here are some questions I have.

  1. What NAS should I get? I've heard Qnap is good, but I want to know around what nas I should get

  2. Is plex somewhat simple to setup and is there other software I should look at?

  3. Is there anything else I should know?

Edit: I ended up using an old laptop and running a file share from it then installing kodi on the other devices and using it as a storage point.

If you go with QNAP be careful with what you provide access to over the internet. QNAP seems to have security vulnerabilities quite often. It would probable best to only use a VPN to access any services/media on it.
