Hello Video Help Family,
I am kind of confused/lost on which option to take. I have tons of movies that I want to keep and be able to watch from any laptop in my house. I went ahead and purchased a 4TB seagate NAS device but still confused on whether I just purchase a new laptop and install 1TB hard disk and keep all my music/photos/videos locally or do I go ahead and move everything to my NAS and keep my home entertainment files 100% on the NAS? If I go the NAS route do I purchase another NAS to backup that NAS?
THanks so much N Advance

For video files, I would just save them on the NAS and stream from there. You could use a second NAS or drive for backup. I'm assuming your LAN network is fast enough.
My LAN is mostly wired, but the laptop is wireless. I watch most of my video on my main PC, not the laptop. The laptop uses a 'N' wireless connection to my router and servers.
Make sure your wireless system is fast enough for streaming and your laptops can handle the video formats you plan to use. I use HD MKVs and my laptop and wireless doesn't keep up very well. That's why I don't use it for viewing HD video. -
