Complete newbie here, looking to purchase a Nas purely for storing and streaming video content to my laptop, what I'm trying to understand is the following:
Lots of the cheaper options have 1gb ram, will that do for standard video play back from the device to a computer. (standard size files no 4k likely no VR) I'm not sure if ram is even a bottleneck here or not.
Might be silly but How viable is using a torrent program to download video content to the NAS and is there any considerations i might want to make especially around download speed (Im fine with a lan connection if recommended)
Do most NAS units come with password Protection software/abilities and a Lan port
I'm in the market for an 8tb nas with drives included (4tb actual storage 4 redundancy I think) and room to grow for the cheapest possible if anyone has any recommendations.
I don't think i require plex or any fancy ui stuff just straight up storage I can play video files from, any help is appriciated.
