When choosing a multimedia NAS there are few things to look at. Most importantly you want a graphics chip built inside. All Celeron and Intel core I series does feature this. This allows NAS to convert a video or audio on the fly if receiving device can not play a particular file because of the video format or network/internet speed.You may also consider models with upgradeable RAM or even a PCIe slot (if you decide to add graphics or cache card). But having an option for more RAM will make it a more future proof solution.If all streaming will be done locally, then transcoding is not something you may need. Qnap TS-863XU (463XU) with AMD CPU would do a good job and also feature 10GbE.Up to 1080p transcoding - ts-453du (853du) .4K transcoding: TS-883XU-RPI hope this helps.
