Hi there, much appreciate the advice;
I'm looking at upgrading my old QNAP 6 bay that is now not supported. Primary use is PLEX and ROON HD music server. I also run a M2 expansion card with two 250GB drives in QTier. Roon works well with album art but QNAP doesn't update the latest version in the repository, I have to download it manually specifying a much later system. Plex is output to a 4K Apple TV device and H265 files won't run on the Plex app, but does on another? I run CAT7 earthed shield cabling for the music.
I'm thinking of the TVS-h874 or 674 machines utilising the i5 processor, . 1. I'm confused which QNAP operating system to use, your thoughts? 2. Much hardware differences between the 6 and 8 bay machines? Can the i5 be upgraded to the i7 processor in the future? Thank you
