TS464 vs TS464eu

#1
Hi Ed,

I just purchased a ts464 but given I have a 16u rackmount cabinet I am considering a rackmount equivalent. Primary usage would be Photos, File backup and Plex (including transcoding to 1080p, native 4k playback and free to air stream via tv plex tuner - several streams to mobile, iPads, tv..)

I noticed Qnap has a ts-464eu rackmount unit which seems to be equivalent to ts464. I have not seen you review it yet for plex use etc.

Would the ts464eu be at least the equivalent of ts464? Anything I should be aware of in terms of advantages/disadvantages in use?

Yes, TS-464 is capable of streaming 4K locally and transcoding 1080p for remote playback. Remote 4k to 1080p transcoding would require TS-674 with i5 inside.
The ts-464eu is indeed the same spec NAS in the shape of rackmount. The only thing that matters is the CPU inside. Performance therefore would be identical to desktop model.
But you will get much more noise thanks to those loud fans.

I hope this helps.
