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

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

Assuming To is terabytes(?) I'd recommend a QNAP NAS. I have the QNAP TS-464 8GB RAM 4-Bay NAS that I've upgraded to 32GB. Currently 4x8TB NAS-grade drives in RAID-5 array (~20-22TB of usable space). 2x1TB NAS grade M.2 SSDs used for Read/Write caching. I think after drives and everything I was in t

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 had a TS-251 server upgraded to 8GB RAM and two WD RED PRO 6TB drives. I checked the drives and they were fine (in an external dual-drive bay connected to a PC, using DiskGenius to read the RAID – a paid program). I bought a new QNAP TS-464 and inserted my two drives. The system booted, but a few

For good transcode then you may want something with Intel N100 like UGREEN NAS DXP4800 Plus. Older Intel version like Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen2 - AS6704T or QNAP TS-464-8G-US should also work. You can also get pre-build NAS with PCIe and place a (usually single slot) card like P2000. There are new h
