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 Technology always becomes outdated.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

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

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

For anyone looking, Intel X540-T2 likely works on ALL Linux based NAS. The reason for this is that manufacturers are lazy, they contract out their network cards using Intel chips. Intel network card drivers are highly supported in Linux. Why spend money to have someone write a driver? That's dumb. Q

Hi - if you buy a NAS that has 8 drive slots, and you put in 20 TB drives, this will be 120 TB of usable storage after RAID 6 (which means that 2 drives can fail, and you won't lose your data). Don't need 120 TB of storage ? Buy smaller drives ! A QNAP TVS-h874 will cost you $2200 and each 20 TB dri
