I read somewhere that Plex can't write to any external drives connected to the Shield, if this is true does that mean you are stuck with ever 16GB or 500GB? What about transcoding videos, where does that get stored, 16GB isn't much. Also, 500GB really isn't huge either considering if you store the preview thumbs, I think mine is around 400GB currently.
So my questions are:
Is 16GB a DEFINITE no because of transcoding issues?
Any plans to support externally connect drives, if this isn't the case now?
Any issues connecting to NAS for the files?
