Rack Mount NAS with GPU and GOOD cpu

#1
Currently have a home lab of 2x super micro servers running older Xeon’s. Problem is power consumption is terribly expensive. I’m currently running ZFS with 4x4tb 4x8tb and 4x12tb with zraid and all mapped to a single storage container.

I’m looking for a good cpu (no celeron) multiple cores, and possibly dual cpu. Must have upgradable memory (current home lab is over 184gb of ram) and 128gb in the other machine. Boot drive should be an ssd.

Looking at running QNAP or synology so I don’t have to keep dealing with os and software upgrades that I don’t have a lot of time to deal with.

Will be running plex, ai workloads, various containers for work functions, etc.

Network is 10gb+ capable running UDM SE with a powered switch and plenty of networking throughout the home.

Overall just struggling to find the right nas. Willing to use a desktop nas but not my first option as I like rackmounting these things.

These models offer an AMD Ryzen CPU with multiple cores and upgradable memory, providing the performance you need for your home lab and various workloads. The TS-873AeU-4G comes with an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B 4-core processor, while the TS-877XU-RP-2600-8G features an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-core processor. Both support GPU pass-through, which is essential for your AI workloads and other GPU-accelerated tasks. They have 8 drive bays, allowing you to start with 4x 18TB drives and expand your storage in the future. Additionally, they offer a variety of connectivity options, including 10GbE ports and PCIe slots for expansion. Overall, these models are well-suited for your needs and offer the performance and features to serve you well for the next five years and beyond.
