Hi there fella

I run a plex server and a member of the family has an almost identical setup to yours, he only have a 12mb upload speed so cvers all our SD needs and it streams like a dream from an external 3.0 usb external drive.

Just remember to ensure that your server is accessible outside of your network (you can see this in green under settings in plex) if its not then you may have to open ports bud

Happy streaming man
