I don't understand how a wider color range would make you dizzy?I can't stand HDR. Makes me dizzy. I have it turned off on all of our TVs.

That's what this section is for man, off-topic stuff. I don't use Plex and don't have SSDs in my NAS but I would say that you shouldn't really have to worry about wearing them out. I could be wrong about this but I have SSDs in my main rig for years and write and read from them constantly and their performance hasn't degraded a bit, this is going on probably 5 - 7 years now. I have M.2 and SATA based SSDs and have never had an issue with any of them. The issues I see using SSDs is the limited storage capacity compared to spinning rust and the cost per GB.Did not expect to find this thread on a poker chip forum, but since it is here and there seem to be more than a few members who know about this sort of thing - I have been using a similar setup (NAS to play MKVs via Plex) but recently have had issues with mechanical failure of HDDs.
I am getting tired of this and wondering if switching to SSDs in the NAS would help. Does anyone have any experience with SSDs instead of HDDs in a NAS? Do I still have to worry about write cycles if the SSDs will only be used to store movies to be watched via Plex?
I am a new member here so sorry if this is getting too far off topic from poker chips.

I remember hearing about this. It is super shitty by WD. Personally I've had good luck with Seagate Ironwolf 10 & 12 TB drives.Do they happen to be of 6TB or lower capacity?
If yes, then here's the reason: these are shitty SMR drives. There was a huge shitstorm around WD for sneaking this unfit tech into drives marketed for NAS use.
I'm pretty sure I have 4 or 5 of those drives in my Synology NAS. Have been running it for about 5 or 6 years now without any issues with the drives. My Synology unit itself crapped out about 3 years ago, but they replaced it for free. I just swapped the drives into the new NAS. You've got me worried though... Maybe I should upgrade my drives?Do they happen to be of 6TB or lower capacity?

Bingo. 6TB.Do they happen to be of 6TB or lower capacity?

Your drives are too old to be SMR. WD only started using SMR in their NAS Red line two years ago. You are good.Bingo. 6TB.
Quick Google search turned this up on how to identify the bad apples. Apparently the giveaway seems to be the cache size which is significantly bigger on the SMR models. They also have product codes to compare (-EFRX being the good ones, -EFAX the bad ones among 2TB-6TB capacity)

ThisGoogle says you need to explicitly grant a system user named "plex" read access on the shared folder with your media files.
Synology has more ways to stream media to a TV. There is another server package called Media Server. I'm not into this, I don't even have a TV, but apparently there's some open standard called DLNA that doesn't require any external services, accounts and the likes like Plex apparently does.I think I need to register a plex account. I already got too many accounts but I don't think I have a choice
