NV+ or Ultra
I am almost a complete noob and could really use some advice interpreting the jargon. First off, what I want to do is set up a centralised storage that can wirelessly stream my media (videos/music)...
Either could be used. However for simultaneous streaming it's best if you can use ethernet (wired) rather than wi-fi (wireless). Take a look at ReadyNAS Performance Expectations
That page shows numbers for the Duo/NV+ (v1). The new Duo/NV+ v2 (RND2000-200/RND4000-200) units will of course be much quicker over ethernet. Over wireless, the wireless connection is going to be the bottleneck.
Of course you can try ethernet over power but this doesn't work as well as running ethernet cables. An advantage of running ethernet is that you can place the NAS in a suitable out of the way location. With wireless for best performance you'll want the NAS in a central location between your TVs.
