NAS for 4k movies? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hello, I am emailing form Canada where my internet speed is 940 Mbps download and 940 Mbps upload on fibre optics. I would like to store all of my 4k movies, bluray movies, hundreds of music Flac files and thousands of family photos that can be accessed by 8 family member that are around the world, majority in Canada and USA. Just wondering if this is possible because sometime there can be all 8 members of the family watching 4k movies at the same time.
Thank You

Local streaming does not require much computing power on a NAS as long as TVs are compatible and do not need video conversion. You can also use offline transcoding option to pre-prepare videos for remote streaming. It is not just your upload speed that matters, it is also downloaded speed at the destination. Downsizing files to 1080p / 720p would help. This process can be automated.TVS-872N / 872XT would be great options. These models come with a transcoding chip, so much of the work can be done on the fly.I hope this helps.
