I just picked up a new wireless ac router, Netgear R7000. It's equipped with gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 port. I like having a centralized storage area to access files (HD 1080p movies, pictures, music).
Am I better off attaching a NAS one of the gigabit Ethernet ports or attaching a USB 3.0 external HD to it? Just looking for fast file transfer speeds, and whatever connection is best for streaming movie files to my smart tv.
Thanks.
Here's the NAS I was looking at.

And here is the external hard drive.
