Help selecting a NAS for Home Applications - Enquiries - 11-13-2024
I just bought a new DELL XPS desktop PC using Windows 11 and MS 365. I want a NAS for the following uses:
1. Back up PC 1Tb hard drive using RDrive software. This is in addition to the 1 Tb backup that Microsoft provides with MS365. RDrive takes a bit by bit image of your drive which allows one to rebuild the machine and install all of the apps.
2. I eventually want to get 8 security cameras and would like to use the NAS as a DVR for the cameras
3. I want to get more storage for saving home video's of the kids, etc.
I am looking at the QNAP 462 and QNAP 464. I have two new WD RED PRO 4 Tb drives and two new Crucial MX500 1Tb SDD's in my old PC. I would like to use the WD 4Tb as RAID 1 NAS back up storage. I may or may not use the Crucial SDD's or buy say 10 Tb drives(?) for a RAID 1 NAS storage.
Is there any advantage of the QNAP 464 over the QNAP 462 for my application? I won't ever be using a Virtual machine or PLEX stuff. Should I look for a different NAS?
