Hello, I'd be grateful for some advice on how people think I should proceed and if what I suggest makes sense.
So basically I have a HP N-54L microserver currently which has Windows 7 installed. This machine is primarily used as a plex server. The machine contains about 3 different hard drives of varying sizes with one hard drive primarily used to store media for plex.
I have now purchased an Nvidia Shield TV, my intention is to now use this as my plex server and media player. I would like to set-up the microserver as a nas to which the nvidia shield can access the data from. My reasons for doing this:
-Greater transoding ability
-less noise as the nas will now be relocated away from where the media will be viewe
As I wont be needing access to the microserver much, Is it possible to set-up the nas to only power on when access is required by the plex server on the shield?
