Hello. I have done some research on NAS systems and I am looking to get my first NAS soon. Here are my main needs: store and access pics, videos, and files from anywhere I am, store and stream large 4K media files (movies and TV shows) at home and away from home and on multiple devices simultaneously, store backups of iPhones and Macbooks.
I have been leaning to get the QNAP TVS-672XT. I like the speeds it offers with thunderbolt connectivity and the i3 processor will allow for 4k transcoding when using plex server (right?). Along with this bay, I am planning to get 5 "Seagate IronWolf 10TB NAS Hard Drive 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s CMR 3.5" Internal HDD for RAID Network Attached Storage ST10000VN0008 - OEM" drives to put in the bay.
Will this setup meet my needs listed above? Especially the ability to stream in 4K away from home. I plan to share access to this NAS to my family that lives in other states across the US and I want the streaming to be able to run simultaneously in 4K for multiple people.
Let me know if this will work or if I should look at other options and if so, then what?
Thank you for the help!
