ASUS, Type: Blu-ray writer Model: BW-12D1S-U Remark.

The time when you do need more processing power is when you are transcoding files, but given you a PCH then this should not be the case. After connecting an external optical drive to your NAS via USB, you will be able to directly.

Synology, QNAP are the well respected manufacturers but should be no reason why the WD shouldn't play ball either.Īlternatively something more DIY is the HP Microserver (£150 - 4bay) which gives much better bang for buck but then you have to install an OS on it. If you have introduced wireless or home plugs that might be the limiting factor in any solution.įor out of the box most new NAS would be able to stream multiple HD streams. Ideally you want a gigabit network as that will allow you to transfer files quickly between client and server. Going back 7-8 years or so my Lacie NAS would outperform that (and that had something like a 400MHz processor, for streaming processor speed is not that essential) When you say high bitrate, what do you mean? Blu ray rips max at 50Mbps so a 100Mbps (Mbit) network would suffice. LG’s N4B1 NAS box is neither a comprehensive media server nor a particularly fast performer, but as a network-attached storage device, it’s quick enough for home/small-business file serving.

Not quite I understand what you mean by the above?
