External GPU

Post by Snow-Burn »

Hi, I'm prety sure the subject have been discussed many times, but I cannot find proper documentation.

I own a TS 453be NAS and I was wondering if there is a possibility for me to add and external GPU in it. I have a GTX 1650 laying around. The main reason why I wanna do this is for PLEX transcoding. Thanks for your help.

Do you think that the TS-473A-8G would be a nice upgrade for me, or do you have something else to propose ?

It would certainly have more CPU and (then also) GPU power
