For your setup, it seems like Thunderbolt 4/5 support and VM capability are key requirements. Based on your needs, I would recommend looking into the QNAP TS-74 or TS-88 series, which support Thunderbolt 4/5 upgrades. These models can handle your Thunderbolt connectivity requirements and are powerful enough to run 1-2 VMs without issue. They also provide great options for Time Machine backups and file sharing over Wi-Fi.
Regarding the Asustor Pro you mentioned, I understand the concerns with the varying NVMe speeds, so it might be worth considering other brands that offer better consistency in that area. If Thunderbolt 4/5 is a must, QNAP’s 74 and 88 series could be the ideal choice for you.
