It should be. 4K content to my Apple TV works well. It’s a little slow if I try to jump around the movie but otherwise works great. I upgraded to 6 GB RAM, which helps.

This is a lower power device and more for data redundancy where you have 2 drives with the same data in case one fails. Not to mention most people use it for plex

If you rip a 4k movie then try to play it on your cell phone, your phone can't play 4k. So your server would need to transcode the video down to a lower quality.
