Best NAS Devices for Media Streaming Under $400

These NAS devices have at least five relevant media-streaming opinions with more praise than complaints. Results reflect owner experience, not a guarantee that every codec, client, or simultaneous stream will work without transcoding or additional setup.

Check your media server software, client compatibility, direct-play formats, hardware transcoding support and licensing, network speed, storage layout, expansion plans, and the effect of other NAS workloads.

This view also limits results to models with a current listed price at or below $400. Prices can change after the page is generated, so confirm the live price before buying.
