The J can barely run Plex
My (albeit, somewhat older) j model hits 100% cpu just logging into the web UI. Synologys are nice, but definitely stay away from their budget models.
you can run plex on a potato as long as you don't need to transcode anything
True, but as tarjeezy says just the UI spiked the CPU. I upgraded from a J to a + last year and the extra bucks were worth it.
