With no more room for another drive - so we’d have to either replace one of them for an 8TB drive, or buy a NAS and yet another HD. Total of 10TB and even that is starting to burst at the seams. We already had a 2TB drive, added a 4TB one, and then another 4TB. As the years went by, our movie/TV collection only grew.

Plex cannot wake the computer using WOL, so we always had to use another app to wake up the computer, since it’s only the two of us and we don’t want to run it 24/7. It works well enough, but there are a few drawbacks. I converted all our media to digital format and we bought a Windows PC to use as a dedicated HTPC. However, there are a few reasons why we won’t be using the cloud after all, except as a backup service.Ī short history: in 2014 we became really serious in using Plex. I’m also grateful to have been part of the beta, that was so much fun! I’m sure it will be a great asset for many, and the fact it’s included in the Plex Pass is beyond awesome. First of all, I’d like to thank Plex for providing the Cloud service.
