So I've had enough of the external raid time machine I've got hooked up to my mac pro..... I've replaced the drives in it twice, its noisy, its slow, and then last night it started causing kernel panics on the mac itself (no idea why).
So I'm seriously considering in a NAS, ideally I'd like to use it for time machine for my 2 macs (and possibly my work one too), but I'd also like to be able to stream my media on it... I'm fully bought into plex, so one that could support a plex media server would be ideal. Additionally as a long shot if it could run a bitsync client to sync folders between my seedbox that would be amazing, but not the be all and end all.
My last issue is that I have no ports left on my router, and I wouldn't want the NAS next to the router.... But I do use home plugs, so where my computer is and is already plugged in via a home plug, could I plug a NAS into the same home plug to give it network connectivity?
