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

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

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

I've got a "QNAP TS-464-8G-US 4 Bay High-Performance Desktop NAS with Intel Celeron Quad-core Processor, M.2 PCIe Slots and Dual 2.5GbE (2.5G/1G/100M) Network Connectivity" (copied from my Amazon history) with 4 28TB drives loaded into it. It's been a beast so far and I'm really happy with it. If yo

The mini PC + external storage is something many people use and are happy with. I personally would want some additional safety for my collection, so going for a NAS with a RAID setup (several drives acting as one storage) is a must for me You could buy a one-solution NAS system like a QNAP box for t
