That is entirely possible. I was under the impression the the NAS (having an Intel N100 CPU) would support using Intel Quicksync for hardware transcoding.
I should also mention that when I'm streaming media with hardware transcoding turned on, the CPU usage is significantly lower than when hardware transcoding is turned off (~5% compared to ~99% utilization) which is the main thing I'm trying to avoid as I don't really want to have the CPU working that hard for a prolonged period when I just want to enjoy my shows and movies.
