That said, the DS220j lacks a hardware transcode engine, so you won't be able to transcode content. I had no issues streaming 1080p content to phones and TVs in my home, and it did a passable job with 4K media. The DS220j is powered by a quad-core Realtek RTD1296 chipset and has 512MB of RAM, and the hardware on offer holds up just fine as a Plex server. The Plex client is available for installation natively within Package Center, and all you need to do is install the client and set up the media server to get started. The Video Station utility has plenty to offer and is a robust solution - in conjunction with the audio-focused Audio Station - and I routinely use it on my NAS enclosure.īut Plex has a more refined interface and works on just about any platform you can think of. There are two solutions in this front: either use the built-in Video Station to stream your locally-stored media collection across your home network, or use Plex. The DS220j does a great job as a Plex media server and an offline photo storage service.Ī key use case for those looking to pick up the DS220j is media streaming. You can set up your own audio, photo, media, and mail servers, and it even has a built-in productivity suite similar to Microsoft Office. The key differentiator for the manufacturer is DiskStation Manager - the web-based software has a ton of great features and a clean interface. The DS220j is similar to the best Synology NAS enclosures in that it offers the same great software experience.
