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-

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

that is correct. I personally prefer QNAP. A QNAP TVS-h874 will come with 32 Gig of RAM. It costs $2199. You need a 10G card - the QNAP QXG-10G1T is $139. You need two internal M.2 NVMe drives (500 gig Samsung EVO 980) to run the QuTS (ZFS) operating system - these are $79 each. And now if you only

if you feel that "they are going to come out with a new model in January 2026 - so I am going to wait" - well, if in fact they do that - then I assure you that they will release a NEWER model in January 2028 - so you will get screwed anyway. Technology always becomes outdated. There is no way to "fu

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 have to open the TVS-h874 to install the M.2 NVMe cards anyway, and that is more confusing than installing a simple PCIe card. The TVS-h1288X is an older model that has the dual port 10G card, but it's only 16 gig of RAM, and it uses two 500 Gig SSD's, not M.2 NVMe's, and it cost more money. Yes

Hello - A QNAP TS-855eu street price is $1599. It doesn't even come with 10G ports. Screw the rack mount model, if you are looking to save money. Buy a QNAP TVS-h874. $2199. Buy a QNAP QXG-10G2T 10G card - $269. Put in two 500 gig M.2 NVMe drives as Storage Pool 1 - $79 each. Now put in your eight 1

Bob, Thanks! I enjoy your posts a lot. I just read a very long thread from you on the QNAP board. Sorry I conflated my transcoding comments. That is strictly for viewing 4k MP4 or HD videos usually on the local LAN via a media player or perhaps offsite via plex. If on local LAN using a media player

QNAP is marginally newer hardware than Synology with worse software. If all you're doing on there is SMB or NFS shares and backup, I'd suggest you get used to an open NAS platform like TrueNAS Scale (based on Linux, unlike TrueNAS Core which is based on BSD). Main difference is you don't have as man

the TS-832PX-4G is the worst QNAP. What is important to you - price or performance ? You can't have both. You want a great 8 drive NAS from QNAP ? TVS-h874. $2200. Where are earth are you seeing 20TB drives for $250 each. Have you done a google search recently. You show me 20 TB drives that are new
