Hmmm. This is a case of anything-is-a-massive-step-forward vs more-is-more-better. I can't see myself needing your storage capacity, definitely not any time soon. I'd try Plex on it to see if it works, my Plex use is less intense too, 99% is to a Roku in the next room and the very few things which need transcoding i generated an optimized versions already... And if it's a disaster I can move it back. I could fit an 8 bay one in the budget, and having the drive bays for double redundancy and a hot swap is real tempting, but I'm also still pretty sure it'd be happy with the 4 bay. The main goal is making automated backups easier than my Frankenstein pi setup, and everything else is bonus.
