In Part Three of our Lacie 5big NAS Pro review, we look at media streaming capabilities. One of the core requirements that I have for NAS units is seamless management of media for streaming to a variety of devices. Let’s see how the 5big NAS Pro does!
In Part One, I looked at general setup and installation.
In Part Two, I looked at Remote Access and Wuala installation.
Apology for the Delay
This review series has been delayed by about a month and I apologize for that. I had to take a trip to Japan for work, and while I was gone, our basement flooded, meaning that I had to dismantle most of my test equipment until that was cleaned up. Now that we’re back up and running, I am back at this review series. Look for good stuff coming soon!
UPnP Streaming
Go ahead and log into your 5big NAS Pro dashboard. You’ll see this:
Now onto UPnP/DLAN. Click Application Services.
Select the Pencil icon for UPnP/DLNA.
Hi Jim,
Thank you for the in depth review of the streaming capabilities of this NAS. I am considering the purchase of this particular model and I was wondering if it is capable of streaming video to an apple tv. I currently have a qnap 219P II and am looking to expand my storage.
Keep up the good work!
Hello, I saw that the manual of the Lacie 5big NAS Pro does not list the m4a format among the itunes server compatible formats. Did you had any issue streaming this format?
