Replace qnap TS-451

[Enquiries]

My Qnap TS-451 broke and cannot be fixed. HDDs were properly working. Which NAS should I buy to replace my dead QNAP to get by HDDs up and running?

Sorry to hear about your QNAP TS-451! That’s always frustrating.

Since your HDDs are in good condition, you can easily transfer them to any other QNAP NAS with the same number of bays or more. Here are a few options to consider within your 600 euro budget:

QNAP TS-453D
This is a solid replacement, offering 4 bays, 2.5GbE for faster transfers, and solid performance for media streaming and file storage. It should be a great fit for your current drives, and QNAP's software will ensure a smooth transition.

QNAP TS-464
This model offers 4 bays, upgraded hardware, and 2.5GbE ports. It’s a bit newer and provides excellent performance for media servers and general storage needs, so it’s future-proof while staying within budget.

QNAP TS-873A
If you’re looking for something with more room for expansion, this 8-bay NAS could work. It’s a bit over your budget, but it’s great for growth if you plan on adding more drives down the road.

With any of these, your existing HDDs should work just fine. Just make sure to check the drive compatibility for each model to ensure a seamless transition.
