TS-h1677AXU-RP-R7-32G

moral of the story - you will either spend the money - or you will spend the money. This happens to everyone. You start with a little crappy QNAP, and then slowly move to a better and better QNAP (TVS-h874) - but it's still not big enough. And today, in May 2026, you are going to spend a LOT of mone

Hi - the TS-h1677AXU-RP can only have four TL-R2400PES expanders on it. The expense is not the expanders - the expense is buying all the drives. QNAP will be releasing a 24 bay version of this at the end of October - the TS-h2477AXU-RP, for about $6100. And QNAP has already announced that they will

you have not stated what Synology you have. DS1821+, a Rack Station ? You do know that you can now use non Synology drives with Synology systems - they changed the rules recently. You have not stated the total amount of storage you need. You have not stated how many computers are going to use this Q

the TS-h1677AXU-RP is overkill for your needs The DS3617xs is an excellent unit. The equivalent QNAP (that will be quiet, and the same size as your Synology) is the QNAP TVS-h1688X. As for "learning curve" - did you spend time learning the Synology - or did someone else set this up for you ? There i

I agree with McWormy. Stick with Synology. They will transcode and sync like you need, I have been pretty disappointed. I have 3 NAS devices (Synology DS3617xs, QNAP TVS-h874x, and QNAP TS-h1677AXU-RP running 1.2PB gross storage). Both QNAPs have been RMA'd - power supply on the 874 and the backplan

TS-h1677AXU is a great unit. But with how much storage you want, you can also consider the TS-h2477AXU. It is orderable now, though most resellers have not yet added it to their website. If you tell a reseller it is available, they can order it from QNAP so they can sell it to a customer.Due to max

the Synology DS1821+ is an 8 drive NAS, similar to the QNAP TVS-h1288X or TVS-h874. An 8 drive NAS is not capable of supporting 8 - 10 professional video editors using 10G ethernet, that are doing full res 4K video media, with programs like Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, Apple FCP X or AVID Media

the DS1821+ is an 8 drive system. It cannot support 8 - 10 users on a 10G network if you are doing full res 4K media. This would apply to an 8 drive QNAP NAS as well, like the TVS-h874 or TVS-h1288X. Proxy media - no problem - full res media - no way. The TVS-h1887XU-RP is a 12 drive NAS system that

Thanks Bob! The insight is very helpful and it looks like the QNAP OS will do everything I need once its tweaked and setup. I spent the time to learn the Synology system myself. Makes it easier when something breaks for me to fix. So, I'm not too worried about QNAP OS, just figured I'd ask those tha

I have a QNAP nas that I love. I would recommend them but it also depends on what your price point is. I have a QNAP TS-h1677AXU-RP with a 24 bay expansion for my plex. But I also have a lot of 4k disc rips for movies and some shows and blu-ray rips for as much as I can get.
