Home streaming, what to buy

[zkain]

Hello,
I want to buy a NAS / MyCloud product where I can use Transmission as a torrent client and also be able to stream media to my devices, for example my android tv running VLC player.

For example can I use WDBVXC0030HWT

Please advice

Thats what I was afraid from, thanks for clarifying things for me!

thanks again
