If you want something a little better then DS918+ will be a great choice. Shield TV is quite powerful gear and like other consoles usually capable of squeezing more juice out of the hardware.

I am surprised to hear that Nvidia shield has not been a great choice as a Pex server. Recent updates have really increase the overall bad experience of the Shield which makes me wanting to move forward the a NAS. It’s not all that bad as it made me discover the use of a standalone Plex Server and ability to command it remotely. I’m not even talking about the crappy remotes. On top of the limited space, the overall limited experience for Plex Server on the Nvidia, the experience is slow and comes with a buggy Android TV OS.

I’ve been using an Nvdia Shield as Plex Media Server for 2 years now.
