Streaming media is a big deal. Various services on the market make it easy to get your favorite music, movies or TV shows. Yet they’re missing one ingredient – something personal.
Starting today, Plex is now supported by Seagate Personal Cloud, NAS and NAS Pro network storage products. Personal cloud storage is taking off as an alternative for people to have immediate access to all of their media without relying on a cloud storage service. Diehard media enthusiasts who are “in the know” about Plex have been running it on PCs for years, sometimes converting an older PC into a full-time entertainment console.
But the days of kludgy PC-music-servers are going the way of the TV antenna — because Seagate Personal cloud is a simpler, sleeker solution. It lets you get started with Plex at $170 for 3TB of storage. Plus, Personal Cloud is a low-power-consumption device, designed to be on all the time so it won’t send your power bill through the roof.
So what is Plex?
Plex is a centralized home media playback system that streams its media to Plex player Apps. If you’ve got a lot of movies, music and photos, it’s a pretty big deal. Here’s why.
Organize Everything – Plex organizes all your media into a simple and elegant interface. In a couple clicks, you’ll have access to your purchased movies or music as well as your photos and home videos.
Enrich Your Library – Plex will make your media beautiful by pulling together content descriptions, plot summaries for your purchased films, posters, cover art for music, and more. It creates a complete, visual package so you don’t have to.
Anywhere/Any Device Access – Arguably the best part, you can watch your media from anywhere on any device. When you’re on your mobile, fling it to your TV when you get home. Getting kicked off the big screen? Pick up where you left off on your laptop or tablet. Plex is the easiest way to keep your party-of-one going no matter where you are.
Combined with Seagate Personal Cloud, Plex is a great solution to create a home media server on par with any other streaming media service, and NAS/NAS Pro will give you an even larger capacity and higher performance for running Plex – but with that personal touch.
