Hi Nascompares. I was searching for a new / good condition NAS device and came across your YouTube site. I have an old Qnap TS-851 and it is really feeling its age, performing very slowly. I was wondering if you can assist, I would like the following please:
Used mainly for File storage and backup in different pools / areas for various types of files, i.e. images, CAD, video and office files
Raid 5 or 6 for redundancy in the array
Quick performance over our small office network (1Gb network connections on CAT 5E) to connect to 3 windows PCs and remote access as well.
8 bay NAS or server to hold 8 x 12Tb SATA drives, mix of drives as I have upgraded over time...
Budget circa £1500 excluding hard drives
I am used to using Qnap servers, but heard of FreeNaz and wondering whether it is time to upgrade to that instead?
Many thanks, kind regards
Zed
