TVS-h874

well - Synology has removed the DS1821+ from their website, so I cannot tell you what is the largest supported drive. On the current models - DS1823xs+ and DS1825+, they are only officially supporting Synology drives, not Seagate or Western Digital or Toshiba. There were some drives that were suppor

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

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

you have not said how many editors. You have not said how much total storage you need. So I will make something up - if you have four editors - you get a QNAP TVS-h874. It's $2200 you run the operating system (ZFS, or QuTs) with two 500 Gig Samsung EVO 980 - they are $70 each. IF you put in eight ma

building a QNAP requires some knowledge. You are not plugging in a thunderbolt device like on a Mac, and it just mounts on your desktop (Which is what most photographers want with their MacBook Pro's). There is no mini SAS connection in any of the professional QNAP systems - it's all done over a net

Hi - I am a QNAP fan - but the TS-832PX is useless. Out of the models you listed, both the DS1823xs+ and the RS2423RP+ would be great solutions. If you want an 8 bay QNAP, it's the TVS-h874 or TVS-h1288X. The TVS-h874 needs a QXP-10G2T 10G card. Any of these system requires a 10G switch, and your ed

replies below - I currently handle our organization’s video production. We create somewhere around 3-4TB of storage per year. Here’s what I was considering as possible solutions. REPLY - 3 - 4 TB a year ? Are you shooting with Go Pro's ? A typical professional video production is 2 - 4 TB per shoot.

I don't have a beef with the TVS-h874. For a professional QNAP model - it is low end entry model, that is designed for desktop use. If you plan on getting more and more and more storage, then you purchase an Enterprise QNAP (this would be the same analogy for a Synology product). If your business is

I have never done it. I have installed tons of TVS-h874, and always with the QNAP QXG-10G2T 10G card. Within a year, almost everyone runs off of storage space, so I wind up installing a TL-D1600S or TL-D800S expander. I have never personally had to remove the 10G card, to try to install a second exp

you can get a great QNAP TVS-h874 - it comes with 32 Gig of RAM, but you have to add the QXG-10G1T 10G card, 2 M.2 NVMe drives to run the OS, and the 8 SATA drives - any drives you like. bob
