Gaming NAS - Enquiries - 03-15-2023
Good night.
Is it possible to play games via a NAS. I am on a ship where I have to watch my power consumption because the power is supplied via batteries on the ship.
Now I have a very heavy gaming desktop that requires quite a lot of power from the batteries. At home I have a small Qnap nas the TS-230 for plex mainly. If it were possible that I could play games via a NAS. Which NAS/setup would you recommend to me.
Yours sincerely

You need to look at the bottlenecks. You could get a Xeon or core i5 NAS (ts-674) from Qnap and install Windows and games on it. Then connect via remote desktop, TeamViewer etc. But the internet speed might not be great for the framerate.
