TS-h1677AXU-RP-R7-32G

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

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

I use raid 5 on my system but I have 16 drives in the nas and 12 in the expansion that’s raid 6. I use TS-h1677AXU (NAS) and TL-R2400PES-RP (expansion) Personally I’d recommend anything but raid 0 since if one drive fails, you’re fucked data wise. QNAP has a 6 bay nas for about 750 the TS-AI642-8g.

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
