TS-464

The TS-464 is doing-well, no reported issues. I have a TS-264, it's the fastest NAS I own. :)

You are thinking in the right direction, but I will separate your setup a bit more clearly because your use cases are mixed (backup + remote streaming + sharing). For pure backup (PCs + phones), even a lower-end NAS like the QNAP TS-216G can handle it. Backup workloads are not very demanding. Where

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

On this subredddit you are mostly going to get enthusiasts who like building their own NAS- so TrueNAS and UGREEN. I just replaced a DS214 and my use cases are the same as yours. I initially was just going to get another synology but heard about their new HDD policy so this caused me to reflect on h

As someone who owns and runs both Synology and QNAP boxes, I say the only advantage that Synology has is in the slick user interface, whereas the QNAP desktop experience can feel slightly disjointed across its desktop UI and apps, leading to a some initial confusion to an unfamiliar user and can lea

yes it will, but its overkill, you wont get the performance that the ads tell you its capable of because that capability only comes from a host that can drive it at PCIe 4 x 4 but the TS-464 slots are only PCIe 3 x 1. The good side of that is that with an SSD that is so obviously over specified the

I recently went through the same process as you. I was debating between buying a new prebuilt off the shelf nas or build it myself. I was very close to the pulling the trigger on the qnap TS-464(it was on sale for $475) Ultimately I realized I could build something for less money that would have way

It's hard to get a well built ready 4 bay NAS solution + 4 TB HDD for that budget in the current market pal. Good enterprise or NAS drives (like Ironwolf) will cost more than 20K but you may find drives from less known brands for around 12-15K as well but they come with their own reliability risks i

QNAP states that it officially supports 16GB of RAM. Unofficially you can install more, which is why some of us have put 32GB of RAM in our TS-464 and TS-664 NAS machines. I put 32GB of RAM in a TS-664 and the system recognises the whole 32GB of RAM. It's not just virtual machines that make people w

Well, after the Synology media restriction fiasco I ended up with a QNAP TS-464. Old model now, but after pimping with their 10GbE card, 32GB RAM a pair of NVMe's for caching, it flies! Deal maker was the ability to run ZFS on QuTS. Ideal for warm storage and backups for VMs running on my MS-02. Pre
