Cute but illegal.All you guys with NAS should form a cloud based library collective and sell subscription access to lazy bums like me that just want to stream off the net.

Are there only special drives that can be installed in Nas?
One thing to note is that RAID is not really backup.
Qobuz has almost 2 dozen multichannel albums. Wow!!Hopefully an official streaming service will do this with licensed surround content one day. There’s probably not enough users to make this viable commercially though, so probably not going to happen.
If someone is buying a new NAS they could reuse any existing drives as backup external drives.

At one time there was a pretty hefty "NAS penalty" price-wise vs. USB. I think that's less true now for the more basic NASes like consumer-grade WD models, but I'm sure it's still very much true when you compare USB to the really nice NASes you're talking about.
QNAP has more powerful processors than Synology but depending on your system architecture that extra processing power is not needed nor in imo any advantage.
Amen to that. My current file server is Ubuntu running zfs. One of these days I want to build another machine for back up.If I had unlimited time and money, I'd probably build two servers running ZFS and make one the backup of the other. But that stuff interests me and goes way beyond what someone who just wants to stream music and video needs.
perhaps, but not really enforceable anymore?Cute but illegal.
Why do you say that? The ability to share files has little to do with the legality of sharing particular materials and, secondly, sharing is not streaming.
Please don't confuse "morality" with legality and rules made up by the media firms and their lobbying associations. I would never for one microsecond consider them "moral". Let's consider that in thier eyes and according to their rules, all those that are even backing up their discs and or playing from a file server/hard drive for personal consumption are immoral, or at least were considered so. I am all in for justly compensating artists for their work, just to be clear, but please let's not bring morality into this.Ah, now I understand, the simple availability of any technology of itself trumps morality. That's fantastic news.
I understand that perspective of morality, it's just not as simple as it used to be, in the days of vinyl.
