LAN only NAS. Own ReadyNAS Business Pro RAID5, 6x2TB, (full) & Synology DS1019+ 5x10TB RAID6 (Full). Considering QNAP TS-1655 & QNAP TVS-h1688X. I looked @ DS-3622 but Synology wants branded HDs. Plan: Populating w EXOS 24TB, RAID6. Network is currently mostly 1Gb w some 2.5GB & WiFi 7. Like that 1688 is 10G out of box (longevity w/o cost of upgrading) & comes w 32GB ECC vs 8GB non ecc. Gen 4 M.2 vs Gen 3. Gen 2 usb 3.2 vs Gen 1 on 1655. 2030 availability of 1655. Unfamiliar w QNAP OS. As I understand it, QTS is the best option to suit 1 large storage pool where that storage is increased simply adding more 24GB drives?What does expanding look like w expansion units? Any way to have a second large Raid 6 storage pool (or expand the original) using the expansion units? Suggestions for 2xNVMe & 4x2.5 SATA SSD that do well in a NAS environment? Looking & units w high TBW/DWPD. So far looked @ Intel SSD DC P4511, Samsung PM893 & Intel D3-S4610. Suggestions for RAM for 128GB ECC?
