Qnap in fact released TS-251D which is an alternative to AS5202T Nimbustor 2 NAS. It features the same Celeron® J4005 dual-core processor and 2GB more DDR4 RAM. It also comes with HDMI 2.0 connection. The 2.5Gbe ports will probably not be any useful if your existing network is 1GbE. Also, Qnap features PCIe slot which is a very handy thing if you want to upgrade your NAS to 10GbE or SSD caching.So I would choose AS5202T if I wanted to connect to HDR TV and stream HDR movies. Its HDMI2.0a connections support this, whereas Qnap does not.TS-251D would be a great choice and affordable solution for 4K streaming via HDMI2.0. Also, this would be an option if I planned to upgrade it later on.TS-253Be would be almost 50% faster NAS which could be used for things like Virtualization, web server and more.Products from Amazon.co.ukQNAP TS-253BE-2G 2 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure - 2 GB RAM, Intel Celeron Quad Core Processor - Multimedia NAS with PCIe ConnectivityPrice: £387.99
