Ryssen86 0 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Is this possible? Just bought a Nvidia Shield Pro and I have a NAS with movies, what is the best way for a setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14862 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 We don't know what your devices are but there are a lot of options. The server could be run on your NAS potentially or on another machine you may have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryssen86 0 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I just agreed to sell my NAS to a friend, got it for free. https://www.amazon.com/QNAP-TS-453mini-4-Bay-Intel-2-0GHz/dp/B00XJZ594U Does anyone have a good NAS to recommend that a can use as a server? Price maybe around 1000 - 1500$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price maybe around 1000 - 1500$ With the prices of components being what they are these days, you could build a beast of a NAS with that kind of budget. I don't see a point in buying a pre-built NAS anymore other than the convenience factor. Or pick up a Dell T20 w/ the Xeon 1225 and buy another 16GB RAM, grand total about $500. It's got an additional 4 HDD slots you can fill with your remaining budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 if you want to try something in between have a look at Xpenology - it gives you the NAS (Synology) interface but you can build the server how you want or re use existing hardware - which is what i did for two boxes - boots off a USB stick However i have decided to move on to a bigger single box again re using some of the hardware and stable bit drivepool on win 10 If you want a good mid range nas as a file server - then a QNAP TS-853A is fine - add a bit more ram and disks and you are good to go - there are more capable QNAP nas's with i3/i5/i7 cpu and 10GB networking plus ThunderBolt now available but they are soon out of your price range as they attract a premium. I ran plex of the 853a for a while quite successfully while evaluating it before deciding on Emby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonk83 7 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Is this possible yet by any chance? I currently run Emby in a Docker container on my NAS, but I'd probably move it to the Shield if it's possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
