Plex Media Server

So had enough of my crappy old Plex server running on esx. Thinking about replacing it with NAS enclosure of some sort for a little more reliability. Any suggestions as currently looking at a Synology DS218?

So after a little testing my Dell T110 looks to be having some hardware issues. Full ESXI 5.5 re-install on a new usb drive. Server 2012 and plexmedia server install fresh. Start to stream a film and the VM locks up and so does ESXi.

So looking for either a new ESX based server or qnap/synology solution. Budget wise no more than £300 I have hard drives.

I could get away with two. I not worried about loosing any data as it can be re-acquire if need be.
