Yes, ds3617xs comes with lots of power. Even though there is no graphics chip featured on this model, it can easily convert videos on the fly using software transcoding. But I would recommend using an offline transcoding option to create a copy of smaller video versions for online streaming.Qnap TVS-872XT / 782N has fewer HDD bays, but do feature SSD M.2 cache and transcoding chip which will keep NAS performance stable even during the transcoding process. Something to consider.I hope this helps.
