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.
