Do you need a GPU for your NAS? Probably not, and here’s why.
Most network-attached storage (NAS) enclosures you can buy from brands like Synology and Asustor come with an Intel CPU and integrated graphics (iGPU). These are similar to what you'd find on a consumer-grade AMD Ryzen or Intel Core processor. The iGPU is not designed for 4K gaming, but rather offloading much of the work from the CPU itself for transcoding and other tasks a GPU can handle. It's a powerful addition to the tool arsenal and is a feature often sought out by those purchasing prebuilt enclosures. Do you need a discrete GPU for NAS? Probably not, even if it's a DIY system.
