Best NAS for movies and general - Enquiries - 01-22-2024
Hello gentlemen, I’ve stumbled upon your Chanel and website and learned a lot! But, with so many options and little details that I might have missed or don’t understand, I still have to ask and for help. After all the research I’ve been doing lately, it appears that Synology and QNAP are the top brands. The thing is, Synology doesn’t rate the highest with movies and QNAP has had security issues. Then there is Asustor which appears to have bang for your buck. I’ve reviewed Synology DS923+, DS423 QNAP TS464, ts453B, tvs1688, and now Asustor Lockerstor. I am struggling in picking one. But I do kind of like that Asustor. What would you guys recommend for Movie watching, and general back up for the household? I do want the option of streaming while away from home as well.

Hey there! Glad to hear you're diving into the world of NAS! Considering your budget, movie streaming needs, and a robust backup system, I'd recommend the Synology DS423+. It's a 4-bay NAS with a quad-core Intel Celeron J4125, making it a solid performer for movie watching and general home use. With its 4-bay design, you have the potential to expand storage as your needs grow. The transcoding engine ensures smooth streaming, and the overall specs promise reliability. Plus, Synology has a user-friendly interface for easy management.
