Ah... if your database is large then Shield is going to exhaust the internal storage. Hence my advice up above how Shield is great for small/medium collections, but does not work for large collections.
Thousands of items = fine on Shield
Tens of thousands of items = not so fine on Shield
Hundreds of thousands = definitely will not work on ShieldBut as a pathway to a larger system, Shield as Plex Server is fine... and then in the future if you're all-in and have a large collection, you can create a new server elsewhere and repoint your clients and nuke the Shield server.

Yes. It seemed to work ok when I did a test run with a flash drive I had lying around but not enough motivation to replace my current server which is more powerful.

Could you / the mount the NAS on the shield (using cifs)?
[Edit] Needs root. And the shield does not root tidily.
[Edit 2] Pi-zero with NAS mounted, configured as a USB drive. What could possiubly go wrong.

That's for the media though isn't it? My database is bigger than the 16GB storage that the Shield has which is why I needed the ssd/flash drive.
