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?

Yes. Kodi is awesome for large displays, but I really don't think the UI and skins are a good fit for mobile.

I've tried DDL for a while, but manually searching and selecting the right quality isn't my thing. It's simple though, compared to the many hours of setting up arr* for the right quality/language.

The main advantage is probably automatic download of new episodes, otherwise manually downloading doesn't take much time compared to how long a movie/show is.
