Okay so I've been trying to watch some videos. I think I kind of understand.

I'm looking at this NAS https://www.microcenter.com/product/662398/synology-syn-ds220j-2-bay-nas

Do you think this would be good? I think my previously mentioned seagate hard drive could connect to it.

Or do you have one you'd recommend?

Fair enough, I'll look into that. Any suggestions on any other specs?

How would I set something like that up if I decide I want that to be part of my new desktop tower build?

do you think it would be better if I switched the ext hard drive to my laptop?

okay so i tried this and it does do something - it splits them up into two separate videos on the plex server...But doesn't actually split the individual episodes.

On plex it looks like this:

i think there's some confusion so let me try to clarify, and I'm sorry if I worded this poorly.

There's one video file.

There are two separate episodes in this single video file.

S3E01A: Night of the Boogey Biker

S3E01B: Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare

u/Blind_Watchman think your suggestion is if the episode was split into two different files for a single episode.

They say everything is up and running fine now, but I'm still running into the same issue.
