Upgrading a NAS. Which brand? Which model? I can't get out for what I need now. - Enquiries - 01-14-2025
I want to upgrade the Synology DS416Play to a future-ready NAS.
Photos, music and phonevideos.... everything plays in Plex, for all my devices, where I and my family can reach them. I immediately came up with the heaviest one currently available, the QNAP TVS-h874T-i9-64G.... but do I need this? I would love to, but do I need it? From this Synology, the processor is too minus and when analyzing or running multiple tasks at the same time, the server falters and fails as well. Up to a reboot. So analyzing, scanning and playback of 1080p and 4K must run extremely smoothly. The DS416Play is a 4-Bay. Internal storage of 4x 10TB WD102KRYZ. These drives I want to keep, fairly new. Also the 3x 14TB external drives dangling from it need to be on internal storage. So an 8-Bay and a heavy model should do the trick. Any recommendations of brands and models within the aforementioned price range?
