Beginner

Post by Boston75 »

I just purchased a Shield Pro and want to convert my 4K (some atmos) discs so I can use Plex. What do I need?
I am looking at a lg wh16ns40 (with external Enclosure) or archgon Premium Aluminum External USB 3.0 which is better?
What will I need for storage? I'm looking at a 512gb flash drive to get started.
Will this be all I need? Any suggestions?

Probably don't need flash storage for movie rips. The money might be better spent buying a much bigger traditional hard drive.
