Thanks to DLNA and AirPlay, you can stream 4K movies, series, and music to a media player, smart TV, or console via your network.

Wonderful product. Installation goes very smoothly. The product has a lot of extra software options, which makes it much more than a pure NAS. I use it as a pure nas between different linux and windows machines but also as a media server via Plex, also a supported tool of QNAP. I also use it as a full-fledged home surveillance system with four IP cameras. The only "disadvantage" is the range of many different types of nas, so you sometimes don't know which one to choose.

This is my 2nd qnap so I already had experience. The installation and operation is even simpler than before, but some ICT knowledge is useful. A layman will quickly get stuck. The operation via HDMI/TV with supplied apps leaves a lot to be desired. Hitches, crashes or huge delays in menu choices, that doesn't work. It's also a shame that the different music apps don't have interchangeable playlists. In the end I opted for the qmusic apps. They are reasonably stable and allow operation via iPad and Android, and with some patience also via the TV. I tried the photo app but was not happy with the possibilities that albums offer. There has to be something else to do. For the time being I do it via a PC with Windows because searching on tags, text, etc. works much better. The cloud backup to onedrive looks very good.

Highly recommended, especially in terms of price/quality. Have several (more expensive) Nas systems in use such as WD, Siemens, Synology,..... . This is a beautiful product at an affordable price;
