I purchased a Qnap TVS-H874 on your recommendation, populated it with 8 new 18TB EXOS drives in a RAID 5, 2 1TB Crucial NVME, added the 2x25GB NIC and upgraded the RAM to 64GB. I also put the same NIC in my PC for better speed/compatibility. I upgraded from a Terramaster F5-422 that I ended up sending in for warranty replacement and have 5 of the same 18tb EXOS drives left over which I would like to utilize. I am sorely tempted to purchase 3 more drives and use the 8 drives total to populate a Qnap TL-D800C expansion and have much more space, but the logical part of me says I should do a backup NAS instead. I am thinking about the TS-873A and I could use the leftover 32GB of RAM to upgrade to QUTS Hero.
Two questions:
1) From my understanding the TL-D800C can be used to add another RAID 5 essentially resulting in a RAID 50. Does the 10Gbps of USB gen 2 throughput on the TL-D800C add to the throughput I am currently getting? (AJS Tests at over 2000MBps)
2) Would it be smarter to backup
