Current:
Router: ASUS AC86U provides 1 x usb3 and 1x usb2 port
NAS: Dlink 323,(raid1) hosting family high res videos/photos for streaming
Disk Enclosure: No-Name USB2 - not in use
Problem: VERY SLOW when transferring files or streaming videos from Dlink NAS via Wifi AC on Mac at 468 transmit rate connection.
Potential Solution 1:
Keep the router, throw out the Dlink 323 NAS, get a new USB3 4-bay disk enclosure with raid1 for home video/photo streaming. So I'm thinking 2 x SATA3 2TB HDD plus the existing 2 x 2TB SATA2 HDD I have in the Dlink NAS.
USB2 enclosure for just downloaded videos streaming.
Potential Solution 2:
Buy a 4 port raid card, build a FreeNAS PC server using computer parts laying around. Not sure if this is a over kill... The main purpose of NAS at home is for storing family photos/videos, some client files.
Any suggestion or comment is very much welcome!
