What NAS for Media - Enquiries - 04-07-2023
Hi
Im looking for the best media (only media) NAS that runs H. 264/H.265/ AVI and MKV files via a network onto multiple smart TV's although not all at once. I currently have a 2 bay Synology NAS that holds everything else and am quite happy with it but, there is not enough room (HDD space) nor spec on the NAS to run the video (ripped DVD's etc) from my collection.
I do not have an unlimited budget and was looking at the Synology 220+ using video station but, am now unsure as there seem to be many other options that are (maybe) newer in spec and release date and better priced but I'm just confused to be honest.
Please advise
Thanks
Steve

Actually, older SYnology models such as DS220+ have a better multimedia compatibility. All new models seem to have H.265 streaming issues.
Maybe get one while it is still available. Or consider Qnap and their 64 series NAS.
