TVS-h874

any 8 bay or 12 bay NAS will give you 1000 MB/sec over 10G ethernet to the client computers. I will describe the NAS in a moment. You need a 10G switch. Your four Mac Studio 10G ethernet ports get plugged into the 10G switch, and your NAS 10G port gets plugged into the 10G switch. A QNAP QSW-M3216R-

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

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

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

there are only 2 PCIe slots in the TVS-h874, and one of them is being used for your 10G card - I assume you don't want to lose this. You can get another TL-D1600S, but this will use a PCIe slot, and you would have to remove your 10G card. If you wanted a rack mount solution that you can keep expandi

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

the TVS-h874 and the TVS-h674 both have two internal M.2 NVMe slots (free). Caching does NOTHING for professional video editing with AVID Media Composer, Apple FCP X, Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere. So no - I do not mean the QM2-2P10G1TB You want a single port 10G card for $139 for either of thes

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

Important Branch is correct. For a TVS-h874, you install the 2 M.2 NVMe drives internally in the NAS. This becomes Storage Pool 1, and this is where QuTS is. This is not for storage. Then you load in all your drives , and create a RAID 6 (not a RAID 10) - and this is now Storage Pool 2. You will get
