Yes, the new 64 series Qnap models are very tempting. But as you see the model number indicates that 73 series are much better performing NAS (64 vs 73 ). Also true that adding a 10gbe card will make them equally priced.
Having a Celeron CPU is quite handy if you want to share video files without the need to download them before playing (transcoding). Otherwise, Ryzen CPU will be better at delivering those 10gbe speeds. Also having more than 4 drives or having faster NVMe slots can be very handy. More drives mean better speed. Or extra bays allow you to install SSD in few of the bays. Or those who need ultimate performance use NVMe or U.2 slots to achieve superior data transfer speeds. With NVMe drives used for hot storage, there is no real need for cache any more.
Qnap Qsync app is superior compared to Synology. It allows space-saving mode just like dropbox and also give you file version control if you need to revert some files back to previous version.
Basically, Qnap will allow you to keep the original Dropbox-based workflow - with Dropbox now called Qnap. And also you will get much better access speeds locally that might allow you to retire a need for SSD as an editing media.
I would go for TS-h973AX as it is all in one solution.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your support. This keeps us going.
