Home NAS for $1500?

[Enquiries]

The NAS is purely for storage of movie media, with a focus on 4k.

This will stream no more than 2 movies at a time

I plan on running a 4 bay, and starting out with 4 TB drives, running Raid 5

Recommendations?

[ed]

I would recommend looking at NAS models with built in graphics chip. Having a 4 bays is a smart choice because Raid5 offers more storage space compared to a mirrored solutions. Ds920+ is a very popular multimedia solution or ts-453d with an HDMI port for those who prefer to stream directly.If you wanted also to use Plex then hardware requirements are tougher and you would need to consider models like TVs-672n or 72xt series with Intel core i CPU.I hope this helps.
