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

Compra una placa con un celeron integrado. Yo tuve una Asrock J4105 ITX y funcionaba perfecto con Docker, Plex (con transcoder hw en 4K), Pihole e Immich, en TrueNAS Scale. Es mejor que un server viejo, ya que los Celeron comen con suerte 10W. Después lo reemplacé por un QNAP TS-464, mas que nada po

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

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

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

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

While personally this is a hard price tag to swallow, I know you wanted to buy once, without having to tinker with hardware. Anyways, if I had to do it, this is what I would do today. Start with a NAS. This is a backbone for your storage and provides large disk size and redundancy. Something like qn

Interesting, I had no idea on that limitation. For home where I am using a number of vlans this is still perfectly AOK and the NAS doesn't need to be aware anyway as the 10G port is an access port in the vlan i want it to be in. To be honest if I was putting together a hypervisor I'd get another/mor

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
