It's a personal server. I'm not planning to share it with anyone. So it seems like I'm good to go with the DS923+. The 920 that the guy is suggesting is still around a grand USD... Black friday sale has the 923 around 400.

Most of my screens are 4k or 2k. I have a lot of 1080p content and some 4k content. The issue only may arise if it is down scaling a 4k video to a lower resolution right?

Ooh. Thanks for the tip. Plex is a must have.

I'm a noob looking to build his first NAS server for media. Is this worth buying in bulk to shuck and install into a Synology DS923+? Open to suggestions if anyone is free to advise. Definitely looking to cash in on this black friday sale event.
