TS-464

Ok, this is my crack at answering your questions. I have a TS-464 and a TVS-h1688x and love them both for the different purposes I have them for. Keep in mind that these are my experiences, but I did run them through google gemini for formatting and grammar before posting them. Question: Can the 8GB

Pulled this from a chat gpt response of what you said above... The simplest “best fit” build for your numbers 4 bay NAS + 4 x 10TB or 4 x 12TB drives in RAID5 (or Synology SHR). • 4 x 10TB in RAID5 gives about 27TB usable • 4 x 12TB in RAID5 gives about 33TB usable That lands right in your 20 to 24T

I just started on the TS-464. So I’m a newbie. But I don’t get your post. What’s making you want to start fresh? How many drives are in it now? Just one 20 tb drive? For me, I’m started with 2 , 8TB. I finished my Time Machine backup and backup essential docs and I’m just at a bit over 1 TB used. I

You mean a 'spanning JBOD', JBOD would be single disks. Also in QNAP land you cannot add disks to a JBOD, you have to kill it and redo the whole array. If you have a sjngle disk in a storage pool, you can add more single disks to the pool (complete data loss upon single disk failure of course) As a

Do not make the mistake to think RAID is a backup, it is NOT https://www.raidisnotabackup.com/ Ability to use the NAS with your TV depends on what capabilities the TV\smart box has you use. My vote would be for Plex, but for Plex you should use at minimum an intel Celeron NAS, with 4 bays that would

Well, I did just buy a new nas this month. Wasn't done yet moving data to it so it's a bit annoying. It was a bit difficult to find something that suit me because I needed something quite compact (electrical closet, got vertical room but nearly none in both ways that matters). I also hesitated for a

I had a TS-464 for a few years as a backup for another NAS without a problem. Then I went in a different direction and bought a TS-664 that I use solely as media storage. I had a 10gb card in both. No complaints.

What kind of budget leeway do you have? I ask because if I were upgrading a TS-464 the first thing I would do is install a pair of M.2 sticks in the slots it has, and then when you do your grand reset do it with all the other drives removed and than set up the M.2s as a mirrored storage pool first a

I like QNAP. Got mine a couple weeks ago. 4-bay 8GB RAM variant. It's named TS-464 or something like that. I'm very satisfied with it. It's got a really solid host page interface, and pretty well-upgradable for what it is. My only complaint, which I think is consistent across all commercial NAS solu

I agree with others who say that you might not want the top-spec or the latest model for the home usage, but to make it a bit future-proof and quite capable for tasks like video transcoding and (potentially) running more workloads than just a pictures and file server in the future, I would recommend
