And they don't do anything with ZFS that you can't do on plain Linux. Same with TrueNAS. At least with a custom built system you can replace JUST the failed part. A failed Synology NAS would require replacing the entire unit.
Thank you. But I need to still use and have my gaming machine turned on with Windows for work, I know there is some Linux add-on now for Windows, would there be possible to have Linux running Jellyfin or any other kind of VM while I'm still on Windows and that's what controls my HDDs with the media?
The issue with this is if the VM system can directly access my GPU to do the transcoding. Because I will need the transcoding for all the media that I need with subtitles.
