QNAP or synology I'd sat you won't need discreet graphics with the right model, as per above requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo77yo 14 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 1500€ is the price max for nas without gaphic card and hard disk (many users use trasncode because they have MIBOX ou FIRESTIK and it is necessary to transcode sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3324 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 1 minute ago, yoyo77yo said: 1500€ without hard disk Personal preference, but I'd take a look at one of the TVS-872n/x/xt in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo77yo 14 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 TVS-872 xt is very good but... 2200€ without hard disk lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3324 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Go with n or x, that was just for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5055 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I have the 1821+ and it's an excellent NAS for running Emby server. However, I do absolutely no video transcoding ever. If you do any transcoding, you may want to consider an Intel model with a 4K gpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo77yo 14 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 1821+ is very good idea for me because the cost of this server is better but it is not intel 4kGPU ... i love synology and my priority is 8 bay minimum so do you know a model of server who look like 1821+ but with 4GPU on synology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo77yo 14 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 if not idea ...i think take QNPAP TVS-872XT-i5-16G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5055 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I think with Synology you would need the new 12 bay DS3622xs+ in order to also have a gpu for transcoding and the number of bays you want, but the xs+ models are very expensive. What kind of CPU does my Synology NAS have? - Synology Knowledge Center Qnap usually has better hardware specs, but I've always felt Synology had the better OS with DSM.

FrostByte 5055 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Another option would be using a NUC for Emby and just use the NAS for media storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and it'd be quite cheaper solution (my portable server is NUC8 with Iris Plus iGPU and it's still a beast, I can only imagine what do later generations do), hence my first post was: 2 hours ago, GrimReaper said: Depends what would you like to do with it.

yoyo77yo 14 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 I think the same : I LOVE OS with DSM... that's why i'm not very interrested for QNAP but if it is the best solution for 2000€ ... i have no choice... another model ? i am not for NUC because i use my synology for 3 camera so dsm is the best for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5055 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Another option is something like the DS920+ with expansion cabinet. That would get you a gpu plus 9 bays. But the expansion cabinet is almost as expensive as another NAS Edited December 30, 2021 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo77yo 14 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 and the difference betwenn DS920+ and QNAP TVS-872 xt ? which is the best ? not to mention the number of hard drives please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
