I am looking into getting a NAS setup at home, but have to consider wanting it to just work and work for my family who are not technically advanced. They use computers fine, but being asked to open a terminal would require letter by letter instructions.

So my question, what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS for files and video (family trips, etc) storage?

    220j is fine for single user streaming. keep in mind the Js can’t run docker so you’re stuck with emby or plex or what I’m doing plain old media server :)

    I assume because it’s built on linux you can get up in it’s guts and force it to run whatever you want though.

      Main reason I still have the 215j is that it runs the logitech media server. I still need to find a way to use my squeezebox with other software, as Logitech quit supporting the useful stuff they make.
