Best NAS for Emby

[Aviad_Dayan 0]

Hello, i want to buy NAS storage and run Emby on it.

what is the best 4 bay  disk NAS that is recommended to have that is working  good with Emby server and running 4K movies without any issue and blu-ray movies as well.

important that network port will be 2.5GB and not 1GB.

Hi, Synology has a number of models with a 2.5GB network port. My suggestion would be to get the best one of those based on whatever your budget is.

i am looking not more then 4 bay slots

OK I think I was wrong. It's only the high end models that have the 2.5BG network, and they all come with lots of bay slots. Asustor is also a great choice:

Use the filters to select only the 4-bay models. It looks like all four models come with 2.5GB network ports.

They're all great choices. It's a matter of which one you prefer. I like the Synology web UI so that's why I looked at their models first, but Emby Server runs well on all of them.

Yes but I need one with decoding options to run 4k and blu ray.

If transcoding, then get one with an Intel processor and gpu.  None of the Ryzen models have a gpu and thus you can't take advantage of va-api.

Most Synology plus models support link aggregation, though that of course uses 2 ports on each side vs just one.
