5yrs has passed quickly since my last Qnap purchase.
I nearly bought the TS-253d given the excellent reviews.
However I don’t feel that’s it would be my best option in my circumstance.
I have my NAS not internet facing and access it remotely via OpenVPN.
My CCTV is on a dedicated NVR and also only accessed via my OpenVPN.
I use my current NAS for home storage/back up and shared media.
Currently I just use DNLA to stream to my smart TV but Ive noticed that some of the newer NAS drives are equipped with HDMI outlets.
As my current NAS is also in my AV rack it would be a nice to have a HDMI NAS connectEd via the HDMI directly to my Arcam AVR450 but would this offer any advantages over my current method of DNLA?
The TS-253d offers trunking but given the low network activity on my network and the speed restrictions of my VPN when away from I don’t think this would be my best option.
My 4k content is only small but no doubt will grow as time goes by.
My own research would be a intel based Qnap but which one?
PS.
I also have a old MAME & some 80s ROMS that I would also like to install on the replacement Qnap.
