Help choosing a GPU for Minisforum N5 NAS for Plex Server

Hi all,

I am new to NAS's, UnRaid and setting up a Plex server so I thought I'd turn to you all for some help and insight.

I have a Minisforum N5 NAS and have UnRaid installed on it. I want to add a GPU to help with the transcoding of my Plex library.

My first question is which GPU do you recommend for my purposes and my second question is how important is it to have one? I expect to have around 10 users streaming my library and dont want to have any buffer.

Any other recommendations as far as upgrades? Should i add more RAM?

Thanks in advanced!

I have a flashed drive that i used to rip 4Ks, put it away for a few months, pulled it out and now it isnt able to rip any of the 4Ks I throw at it. Curious if this has happened to anyone else here

Hey all, Im new to this entire world of self hosting and have been experimenting here and there before diving all the way in and now that I've made the leap i am a bit stumped.

I bought a minifourms NAS and set it up with UNRaid, started using MakeMKV to rip my physical collection and have an iMac as my computer/host server. Before I had the UNraid set up I just had the folders on my Mac locally, but now i have moved them all to the NAS, on the Plex server app I went to locate the NAS and Plex cant seem to locate it. Any ideas how to et Plex to find my NAS?

I should mention my Mac can open and find the NAS no problem.
