  • 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 Shield

    But 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.
