Then go with some QNAP that has QS enabled i3/i5/i7 Intel CPU (gen8 and up) and give DS1821+ a wide berth. 

[yoyo77yo 28]

Qnap have nas with pci Express slot for graphic card... but I do not know which one to choose and wich Nas to choose ? QNAP or synology

[yoyo77yo 28]

SO can you give me the model ?

What's the price range? 

[yoyo77yo 28]

1500€ without hard disk

I'd sat you won't need discreet graphics with the right model, as per above requirements. 

[yoyo77yo 28]

1500€ is the price max for nas without gaphic card and hard disk (many users use trasncode because they have MIBOX ou FIRESTIK and it is necessary to transcode sometimes

Personal preference, but I'd take a look at one of the TVS-872n/x/xt in that case. 

[yoyo77yo 28]

TVS-872 xt is very good but... 2200€ without hard disk lol

[GrimReaper 4739]

Go with n or x, that was just for reference.

[GrimReaper 4739]

Anyway, maybe @FrostByteor @cayarshave some other suggestion. 

[yoyo77yo 28]

thanks for your help.

I have the 1821+ and it's an excellent NAS for running Emby server.  However, I do absolutely no video transcoding ever.  If you do any transcoding, you may want to consider an Intel model with a 4K gpu.

[yoyo77yo 28]

1821+ is very good idea for me because the cost of this server is better but it is not intel 4kGPU ... i love synology and my priority is 8 bay minimum so do you know a model of server who look like 1821+ but with 4GPU on synology

[yoyo77yo 28]

if not idea ...i think take QNPAP TVS-872XT-i5-16G

[FrostByte 5392]

I think with Synology you would need the new 12 bay DS3622xs+ in order to also have a gpu for transcoding and the number of bays you want, but the xs+ models are very expensive.

What kind of CPU does my Synology NAS have? - Synology Knowledge Center

Qnap usually has better hardware specs, but I've always felt Synology had the better OS with DSM.

Another option would be using a NUC for Emby and just use the NAS for media storage.

Yup, and it'd be quite cheaper solution (my portable server is NUC8 with Iris Plus iGPU and it's still a beast, I can only imagine what do later generations do), hence my first post was:

Storage only or additional requirements.

Typo

[yoyo77yo 28]

I think the same : I LOVE OS with DSM... that's why i'm not very interrested for QNAP but if it is the best solution for 2000€ ... i have no choice... another model ? i am not for NUC because i use my synology for 3 camera so dsm is the best for that

[FrostByte 5392]

Another option is something like the DS920+ with expansion cabinet.  That would get you a gpu plus 9 bays.  But the expansion cabinet is almost as expensive as another NAS

[yoyo77yo 28]

and the difference betwenn DS920+ and QNAP TVS-872 xt ? which is the best ? not to mention the number of hard drives

please
