[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3350837, member: 29706"] When you decide to upgrade unify. That is why I ended up with my server the way it is. All of my media is on it, music, movies, tv, home video's, pictures, etc. If I digitally record it in some way it goes to the server. I can then access everything through Plex. I sync playlists to my phone and tablet for music but everything is available through a web browser or one of the apps as well. I can pull out my phone anywhere in the world and pull up a picture or song from my server. Everything I have on it is already there and in a situation like yours with a limited cap you can basically have your own netflix. You could use the same transmitter but also access through WiFi near home or if you are like my sync to your device. When I am at home and my phone is plugged in it uploads the pictures and video's I have taken automatically to the server as well. When my father was thinking about moving to the Philippines the plan was to mail a HDD every so often with media so he could add it to his server directly as it would have been too slow to do much else. My server is overkill for a lot of people, to be honest it can be ran on slower hardware, I however also run virtual machines, docker containers, among other things. One of the things I have done is set it up so that updates are cached and you can do the same for basically anything on the internet as well so stuff that is used a lot is held on a computer and served to you without using the internet at all. A lot of people get something with an intel Atom CPU on it, [URL]https://amzn.to/2V3oBrz[/URL] the only other thing you need is a SAS controller card so that you can hook up more drives. As long as you are not transcoding video it will work fine.
