"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 you prefer to stream things via HDMI instead of WiFi or Ethernet than there are few models with this port at the back.Synology and Qnap would be the best option for multimedia. But if you do have compatible TVs then WD EX2 would do the job. If you do need transcoding then WD PR series NAS would be a good option.Synology and Qnap do offer more apps and better backups options though.I hope this helps.
