I'm trying to upgrade a TS-873 (8x3TB HDDs with 24TB gross capacity) to an All Flash NAS > QTIER with an 8-bay 4TB SATA SSD + 4 NVMe RAID 10 storage pool + 10/25GbE network. Has anyone tried this, and with what results? My experience with this NAS has been disappointing! Therefore, I'm looking at a TSV-h874X/T-i7 with the same idea. There's little to no online response to this topic!
I've had a QNAP support ticket open for over four months, with little interest and a lack of expertise, and only insufficient support!
My previous research refers to:
- https://nascompares.com/2022/12/16/qnap-tvs-h874-nas-review-ultimate-desktop-nas/
- https://www.club386.com/qnap-tvs-h874-8-bay-smb-nas-review-one-nas-to-rule-them-all/
and
- https://www.club386.com/qnap-tvs-h874t-thunderbolt-4-nas-review-empowering-creators
are, however, already 1.5 to 3 y old

Does anyone have experience with this and can support this Project?

Howdy! I'm looking to replace my rather old and dated DS215J with a 4 bay-NAS.
The Synology DS423+ or the Synology DS923+ or do I go for a completely different model?
Mainly PC/iPhone/Mac backups, photo library and camera roll 2K/4K videos (most likely be more towards storage than playback or kinda wanna try Plex for films but will be the odd 2-3 films, nothing major)..

Max £600 for NAS itself not inc. hard drives (will ideally like to use my 2 drives in my DS215J as these are only recently purchased to up the size, is this possible?).

Thanks

Hi Robbie
Is there a way of telling which ones (TS-464-8G) have the expandable memory... a code?
Looking at review/internet and indeed QNAP compare... it seems inconsistent.
Many thanks
Ben

Great content...
(Am looking to replace a MyCloudMirror inc 4 TB; was somewhat miffed about the speed the software/support was removed.
Mostly use for backup as this device is not great for file transfer but would like to be able to store/edit/ video as although laptop has 1TB I have a lot of drone footage to go through.
Also a few digital films it would be nice to cast/watch)

UGREEN DXP4800 plus vs QNAP TS-464-8G vs Aoostar WDR PRO (Ryzen 7 5825U)?

Hello! I’m new to NAS systems and would appreciate recommendations for one that suits my family’s household. I know DIY systems are often recommended and cheaper than pre-built options, but they’re not feasible for me right now due to several reasons. That said, I’d love to build one in the future!

For now, I plan to use the NAS to store all my data, Set up cloud storage for my family, Create a media center for movies, music, photos, etc. And Possibly run a home surveillance system in the future.

After researching online, I’ve decided to avoid Synology due to their predatory decisions. Instead, I’m considering these three systems:

the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus,
QNAP TS-464-8G,
and Aoostar WDR PRO Ryzen 7 5825U.

I’m shopping from Canada, so I’ve converted prices to USD.

Here’s what I’ve found:

- UGREEN DXP4800 Plus ($550): Best hardware, with two extra NVMe M.2 slots and 10Gb Ethernet. However, its software is n

Hi! I’m new to NAS and need recommendations for a family household system in Canada (prices in USD). DIY isn’t feasible now, but I may build one later. Needs: data storage, family cloud, media center (movies, music, photos), and future home surveillance. I’m avoiding Synology due to their practices. Considering:

UGREEN DXP4800 Plus ($550): Great hardware (2 NVMe M.2, 10GbE), but new OS lacks features/security.

QNAP TS-464-8G ($620): Mature OS, but past ransomware concerns; unsure about RAM upgradability.

Aoostar WDR PRO ($430 w/ 512GB SSD + 16GB RAM, or $370 barebones): Cheapest, powerful CPU, but may need custom OS and ryzen may lag in transcoding compared to Intel unless I'm wrong.

Reliability and longevity are key. I already have a HexOS license, but open to other OS options until Hex will fully release. Which is best, or are there better alternatives in the $600 range? Thanks!

Did a Windows Defender scan today and these two "High" threats were flagged. I had installed the Terramaster TOS in preparation for setting up the NAS. Are these serious?

So I've recently seen the new Kickstarter ORICO CyberData AI-powered NAS and was looking at backing the CF1000 however I've also just seen the new UGREEN AI NAS and I am conflicted about which one to back/ wait for. I understand the 10 bay compared with 6 bays, I'm currently rocking 4 bays however only 3 are in use, I'm about to purchase my 4th drive however I'm now looking at upgrading so when i need to expand again it will be ready to go. If you could help me out and give me your opinion that would be greatly apricated.

Hello, I'm pretty close to ordering a Synology DS1525+ with a pair of their 2.5" SAT5221 drives. For the moment I do not need high capacity storage from a mechanical drive and silent operation is fairly important.
My question is this, if the NAS unit is set up with an all SSD storage pool, is there any benefit to adding M.2 cache drives?
Also I was very surprised to find out Synology doesn't support installing DSM on M.2 drives (QNAP does) What is the reason for this? I feel like Synology could benefit from allowing DSM to be installed on an M.2 drive like the other upcoming NAS brands allow.
As always thanks for the excellent work the team does in the field of NAS.
Cheers!

Hello,
I have an aging Drobo 5D populated with five 8TB WD Red Plus hard drives connected to a M2 Mac Mini working as a Plex Server mainly for viewing movies at home on a high end Sony 4K OLED TV.

I think it's time to retire the Drobo as it's no longer supported and software driver is aging and might not be supported fter Mac OS updates.

I’m trying to choose between QNAP TS-664 vs Terramaster F6-464.
Terramaster seems more hardware capable at around similar cost but doesn't seem as mature and perhaps questionable support service.
QNAP seems a bit less capable hardware and might struggle with 4K HDR movie content?

I guess I could continue running the Plex Serv er on the Mac Mini and then it might not make a difference, but if the NAS can handle the Plex Server I can sell the Mac Mini as I won't need it any longer.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you.
Guy Fisher.

Hi All,

Not sure if this is the correct section for this.
I recently purchased a Canon MF643Cdw and am trying to configure it to scan to my NAS.
What I have tried so far is:

• use the IP Address as the Hostname instead of the actual hostname of the NAS.
  
• put the path as follows: "/172.16.100.1/scanned"
