  Help suggesting NAS for PC with plex
Posted by: Enquiries - 04-01-2025, 04:35 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hello, I am currently running a Dell Optiplex 3020 tower Intel i5-4590 with 12Gb Ram, one 500Gb SSD as main and two 4.5 TB for storage of movies and shows. The only use for this is Plex, I might have exhausted the space on the Dell and would like to entertain another option to store 2 additional 4.5 TB HDDs. I can still use this PC, I would like to have the ability to extend the storage space with additional HDDs. Any advice. I have no experience with NAS.

  NAS Upgrade
Posted by: Enquiries - 03-31-2025, 04:35 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi there,
I currently have an old QNAP TS-251A with 8GB RAM, and 2x 4TB drives in RAID 1. I have run out of storage space, and am looking to upgrade to larger capacity drives, as well as a faster NAS as I'm finding the TS251A just can't keep up these days.
I primarily use the NAS to back up photos, documents, etc. In the past, I was streaming Plex 1080p, but it just wasn't coping with anything above that.
I was thinking of upgrading to 8-12GB of storage, and I think the QNAP TS-264 looks good, albeit expensive (in Australia).
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

  Motherboard recommendations
Posted by: Enquiries - 03-31-2025, 01:35 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi there,

Hope you are well. I'm contacting you as I have a bit of a dilemma and particular needs. I'm trying to find a NAS motherboard for my build. I am looking for something that has the following:

10gbe (onboard or via pcie card)
6+ SATA ports
A seven segment display/DEBUG LED/postcode on the board
ECC memory support
A power and reset button on the motherboard itself
A socketed CPU would also be nice for upgrade purposes if needed
Micro ATX form factor for the Silverstone CS382 case

I don't really care about the price if I'm honest.
The motherboard that came close to what I'm looking for is the ASUS WS W680M with the only thing missing for me being the power and reset button that isn't present on the board.

Figured I'd reach out just in case you had any ideas. No worries if not!

Thanks very much!

  Terramaster F8-Pllus: Unable to login either account!
Posted by: ARJ_1966 - 03-29-2025, 02:22 PM - Forum: Technical Support - Replies (2)

Hi all,

Just bought in the Amazon spring sale a F8-plus.

Thankfully not got much data on there yet, but it doesnt appear to be recognising my accounts via the MacOS TNAS-PC software.

Nor can I open the web page on Safari/Firefox/

But I can connect and access my data (busy copying/moving it off the NAS before I have to consider a rest) via filemanager.

This seems a tad odd...

Oh I'm rather new here - must browse these forums more...

Anyway have a good Saturday
