Although Imdecent with computers I am NOT in IT or at that level, so simpler the better.
I am looking at these units:

are any of these worth it or do you have better suggestions? Could a dummy like me install and work on these with relative ease? |
Of those the only one I would recommend is the QNAP. It would make the best Plex server. I don’t think you’d have a problem setting it up. You access the UI via a browser and it’s fairly intuitive.
I have a Synology NAS and I think this one is comparable to what you’re looking for.
