Hello dear Team,
I want to ask, if you ever tried to store games on a network storage.
I'm currently thinking about building a new network in my house and want to invest a bit in the future, so I don't need to update everything again in some years.
My idea was to install cables with at least 10G or more (CAT 8 or Fiber, as they are already costs the same). Then I just need to update the hardware like router and switches/ network storages, when there are faster solutions.
But for now, I was thinking about the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus to store my games, images ect. on it. It has a 10G port, so my plan is to connect it to a TP-Link BE800 via a 10G connection.
Now the question is:
Is it possible to use the NAS as an "external" storage and store the games there, to play them directly via WIFI or LAN on a handheld device or a laptop. The NAS should not do the CPU or GPU tasks. It should just store the files.
Can WIFI-7 / 10G handle this or am I'm thinking wrong?
