[Enquiries]

hi Guys
I have watched several of your videos I live in the states
you guys rock
I have access to several of NVMe M.2 SSD and SATA drives
I was thinking of this unit upon your recommendation QNAP TS-664-4G-US 6 Bay High-Performance Desktop…
$699.00

my brother found this drive on amazon I really don't want to buy stuff that will not get the job done

what do you think?

MDD 10TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5inch Internal Hard Drive for Surveillance Storage (MD10TGSA25672DVR) - 3 Years Warranty (Renewed)

I would normally not recommend cheap drives like this. WD Red plus, Ironwolf or Exos drives are a better choice.
But since you run them in a RAID, Qnap system will run regular checks on these drives. If one drive fails, the others will protect the data.
So technically even if these drives are not good, you have this redundancy protection.

TS-664 is a Multimedia friendly choice. It also can be upgraded to 10GbE speeds. You would not make a mistake choosing this model.


I hope this helps.
