One thing I will also suggest is looking into https://home.tdarr.io/. It's software that will re-encode your media to h265, saving you a lot of space. I just set it up on my synology NAS because I am at 80% storage and don't feel like buying another drive yet.
Are there any drawbacks to h. 265?
I mostly watch Plex on my home network, however I use a Chromecast to watch Plex remote from my location with slow internet. Would this be an issue? Would it make the experience better?
I'm running two external tens and I just bought an 18. I'd love to save some space and I'll have to buy a drive for a long time.
I am not an expert but I think compatibility is the only significant downside. If your device supports it, you h265 will give you better quality at the same file size.
I've been manually reencoding to h265 l, and while the space savings are significant, the pain is also. Especially if you mess up the audio or subs!
Will definitely look into that!
