Next, I would check your assumption that everything is direct playing. The fact that you mention the internet makes me think that you're streaming over the internet. That will provide any red flags that could explain the buffering/stuttering. Check your latency and bandwidth between your Plex server, your NAS, and your client. I would first make sure that your network is capable of handling the load. However, what is clear is that FreeNAS will not help your cause. It's hard to troubleshoot your problem, since we don't have a ton of information here.

The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two.įor a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online. I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum. This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build.
