Be aware that doing it like this, the traffic from the VPS to your home will be unencrypted.

The issue is that’s it’s too late… I already have my NAS. The only things I can optimize are the disks

Thanks, yes, I’m interested in the SSDs models!

Ok thanks!

Indeed, I haven’t thought about the W/TB. This is definitely something I’ll to consider, thanks!

With what I saw with me current HDDs I wouldn’t have though smaller HDD would be the most power efficient. And now I understand better why sometimes I read HDD can be more efficient than SSD.

Any brands/models you would recommend?

I planned to share it with my family. As I won’t be the only user, this is not ideal. Besides I run automatic backup and planned to also store them in the NAS. So again if it’s off half the time, this is not ideal.

I would have, but this is all about the power consumption. Getting an old PC, I’m afraid to be at least around 100W…

Oh? This is weird, I have disabled transcoding on my rpi and I have some files that won’t play or the subtitles won’t load. I’m playing from my local network on an AndroidTV. I thought this was a file format issue and that transcoding would solve the issue
