DAS or NAS for an Arr Setup w/ Plex? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Looking for some advice on my journey to expand my local storage. Currently, I have a mini PC running my Arr setup with Plex and I have an external enclosure with a HDD connected through USB. I can reliably push 4K to my Android TV. This is the system's only use and purpose.

I need to continue to be able to Hardlink files so that I can seed back while Arr programs are sorting and renaming for Plex.

I'm not too concerned with a file backup solution or relying on this setup for sharing important files across my home network.

Would a DAS be sufficient for this? Is there any reason I should avoid this and invest in a NAS solution?

If you want free and open you could replace the lot with jellyfin

I had been planning on running Jellyfin in parallel for testing but haven't gotten around to it. Plex has been reliable for me. And I really enjoy Plexamp.
