Looking to buy a NAS unit used almost exclusively to store and play ripped UHD/BD .iso files (currently 81 UHD/ 164 BD and growing . I have Verizon FIOS 1GB internet and the NAS will be located in an upstairs office with an Apple Mac Book Pro laptop and the NAS will be connected to a Fios E3200 WiFi extender (only way I can get a hardwired connection). As of now, I will play ripped movies through the Plex app on my Apple TV 4K connected to my LG OLED. But very soon, I plan to get a dedicated digital movie player like the R_volution PlayerOne 8K media player for my home theater. Any reccos are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Overall, the DS1522+ offers the performance and flexibility needed to meet your media storage and playback needs.

Thank you so much for the reply. I really liked the DS1522+, but I ended up returning it and went with a QNAP TS-464, mainly for budgetary reasons. I saved about $160, which I intend to put towards large HHD disks. Thanks again, and I truly enjoy your videos.
