Hi folks,
I'm going to migrate my current DS1817+ to a new TVS-h874-i5-32G, because I need more CPU for 4k transcoding (Plex server) and for some virtual machines.
The idea is to have almost 100Tb space in the NAS, and a cold backup offline with the 10 10Tb hdd I'm using now in the DS1817+).
What I'm think is ... if for my scenario is better QTS or QuTS.
QuTS forces me to take 10 x 20Tb hdd, while with QTS I should start with 6 hdd, then add 2 hdd when needed. On the other hand the big advantage of manage quicker the swap of a faulty part is huge.
Media blocks (Music, Movies, Photos) won't take any advantage from ZTS features right? I won't use deduplication nor compression.
But what about VMs blocks? Better to use compression or not?
Last question: cache. Shall I have a very small cache to improve Plex database (not the movies themselves) and VMs? shall I say to Qnap "use caching only for that particular block"?
