Will any of these NAS units transcode 4K Plex streams?
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers note that NAS units built on Intel chips with QuickSync (the UGREEN DXP2800 with N100, the DXP4800 Plus with Pentium Gold 8505, and Synology's Intel-based Plus models) can hardware-transcode 4K. ARM-based budget units like the Synology DS223j and UGREEN DH2300/DH4300 are not recommended for serious Plex transcoding by the specialist communities we read.
