NAS for RV - Enquiries - 03-05-2024
Looking to RIP the many DVD and some Blu Rays to a Media server that I can take in the RV when vacationing. I have a Cellular internet connection but would like to stay away from using it if possible. 1080p would be more the sufficient. I will be hard wire ethernet to both television to the network switch with the router all 1GBe. I need something that isn't too big to carry and transport in my RV. 120vac power will be available at all times.

Its integrated graphics card ensures smooth multimedia streaming, perfect for enjoying 1080p content on your TVs connected via Ethernet.
The DS224+ is energy-efficient and runs on standard 120V AC power, making it suitable for use in your RV.
