TVS-h874

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 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

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

you want 150 TB. With an 8 drive NAS array using 24 TB drives in a RAID 6 configuration where 2 drives can fail without losing any of your data - that is the equivalent of 6 drives x 24 = 144 TB of usable storage. So this is a QNAP TVS-h874 which costs $2400, and two M.2 NVMe drives to run the opera

I tried RTX 2000 Pro Blackwell with TVS-h874, fail badly. Driver (6.2.2.1106 officially adds Blackwell support ) partial loaded. Experiment aborted, I am finding a new host for RTX200 Pro. Have you tried it in VM GPU passthru ? I didn’t try, already removed card from NAS because it is quite hot with

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
