awraynor 98 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is it worth a $110 price differential over the former TS-451? I have the 451+. It has good performance, and I upgraded it to 8GB of RAM. Super quiet too. Link to post Share on other sites

HellDiverUK 99 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I don't see why the 5D wouldn't work - it appears as a normal USB external HDD. I don't have a Shield or I'd test it, but the 5D works just fine plugged in to my Asus router (RT-AC87U). Link to post Share on other sites
psykix 27 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Before you go jumping to a Shield TV as a Plex Server, have a read around. There are many many people unhappy with the PMS side of things, amongst other complaints. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/949590/shield-android-tv/what-have-you-done-with-this-3-2-crap-part-2/ I have a Shield TV, but just continue to use it as my client, and my Gen8 (E3-1265LV2) as my server. I suspect the Shield TV is ok when mainly direct playing, be interesting to hear how it fares with multiple transcoded streams. Edited July 12, 2016 by psykix Link to post Share on other sites
rgreenpc 9 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Interesting. Maybe I just get a NUC or similar. I usually am transcoding one stream to the kid's iPad at most. Everything else is direct play. Link to post Share on other sites

The Drobo is DAS Link to post Share on other sites
