NAS to work with Steam games - Enquiries - 01-02-2023
Backup 5 computers, photo editing, storing my edited videos
Plex server. I sent a message and forgot to add this. I have the Synology ds 1621+, but I was thinking of setting it back or getting a second one just for media because 1621 does not have built-in graphics and 4K steaming. But what about Steam games using iSCSI, or do I still need a nas with build graphics?
RE: NAS to work with Steam games - ed - 01-03-2023
DS1621+ can handle Plex locally. No remote streaming above 1080p though.
You would need Qnap 74 series NAS to transcode 4k remotely. Or 73A with GPU card.
You will also need 10GbE for ISCI gaming. Built in 1GbE LAN is not fast enough.
I hope this helps.
