TS-464

The TS-464 is doing-well, no reported issues. I have a TS-264, it's the fastest NAS I own. :)

You are thinking in the right direction, but I will separate your setup a bit more clearly because your use cases are mixed (backup + remote streaming + sharing). For pure backup (PCs + phones), even a lower-end NAS like the QNAP TS-216G can handle it. Backup workloads are not very demanding. Where

Do not make the mistake to think RAID is a backup, it is NOT https://www.raidisnotabackup.com/ Ability to use the NAS with your TV depends on what capabilities the TV\smart box has you use. My vote would be for Plex, but for Plex you should use at minimum an intel Celeron NAS, with 4 bays that would

I like QNAP. Got mine a couple weeks ago. 4-bay 8GB RAM variant. It's named TS-464 or something like that. I'm very satisfied with it. It's got a really solid host page interface, and pretty well-upgradable for what it is. My only complaint, which I think is consistent across all commercial NAS solu

Assuming To is terabytes(?) I'd recommend a QNAP NAS. I have the QNAP TS-464 8GB RAM 4-Bay NAS that I've upgraded to 32GB. Currently 4x8TB NAS-grade drives in RAID-5 array (~20-22TB of usable space). 2x1TB NAS grade M.2 SSDs used for Read/Write caching. I think after drives and everything I was in t

On this subredddit you are mostly going to get enthusiasts who like building their own NAS- so TrueNAS and UGREEN. I just replaced a DS214 and my use cases are the same as yours. I initially was just going to get another synology but heard about their new HDD policy so this caused me to reflect on h

As someone who owns and runs both Synology and QNAP boxes, I say the only advantage that Synology has is in the slick user interface, whereas the QNAP desktop experience can feel slightly disjointed across its desktop UI and apps, leading to a some initial confusion to an unfamiliar user and can lea

yes it will, but its overkill, you wont get the performance that the ads tell you its capable of because that capability only comes from a host that can drive it at PCIe 4 x 4 but the TS-464 slots are only PCIe 3 x 1. The good side of that is that with an SSD that is so obviously over specified the

I recently went through the same process as you. I was debating between buying a new prebuilt off the shelf nas or build it myself. I was very close to the pulling the trigger on the qnap TS-464(it was on sale for $475) Ultimately I realized I could build something for less money that would have way

wasted a week of my time with a new in box TS-464 over the past month. Could never get it to accept anything more than 8GB of RAM it came with so I never really got to any in-depth testing - any additional RAM in the system led to an un-logged (by QNAP) error and what looked like a hardware error (l
