FrostByte 5049 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Ok, I was comparing the 871 for some reason, I think I got the right one now. The Qnap will of course kick butt which is what I was expecting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QNAP is the better because it is the bes processor for transcode and ... best for number hard drive but not synology OS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I find DSM to be more user friendly, but QTS isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 From the standpoint of Media server only (not business services) Synology isn't a good choice hardware wise. Many of the Qnap boxes hardware wise are much better as you get higher end CPUs, 2.5 or 10 Gib Ethernet or lower end units, PCI slots for GPU and usually a drive bay or two more for the same price as Synology. Downside is Qnap has been plagued with security issues in it's software. Both Synology and Qnap use their own very stripped down Linux versions making it difficult to do things under the GUI which can be a big downside depending on the person owning the box. I big thing right now with media people is wiping the Qnap boxes and installing Ubuntu or Debian (can't remember) on it giving a 100% Linux compatible box. I doubt I'd pay "extra" for a NAS to wipe the OS from it myself. At least not planning ahead I wouldn't. Thunderbolt at 40GB/s (33GB after overhead) is the current wave of the future for high speed connectivity. Enterprise SAS is only 12GB. How about a $749 8 bay (conventional NAS look) 2 port Thunderbolt cabinet with speeds around 2,586MB/s which blows SATA 500MB away! https://www.amazon.com/OWC-ThunderBay-8-Bay-External-Thunderbolt/dp/B084S3S8JC You can even daisy chain these boxes together! If you prefer hardware RAID 5 and/or want to use SAS and SATA then https://www.amazon.com/Highpoint-RocketStor-6628A-Thunderbolt-Enclosure for $1299 is the way to go with dual Thunderbolt adapters and speeds up to 2700MB/s in a PC tower form. 4 Bay version for $700. Want the ultimate connectivity then look at U.2 vs Thunderbolt (most come with Thunderbolt anyway) such as a two bay https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB3MPDU000S/ $380 that does 2800 MB/s A small form factor PC or NUC combined with Thunderbolt or U.2 would be super fast, very modular and expandable and likely cost no more than a conventional NAS. You could even use a conventional Mid or Full tower with Shuttle or IcyDock Modular bays inside below. The great thing about U.2 is that it supports NVMe so you can do this for ultimate fast and portable.: How about 4 Samsung 980 Pros 2 TB SSD for 8TB of RAID 5 or even RAID 0 in a 3/5"? The shuttle is a 3.5" form factor "drive" that plugs in normally in U.2 equipped computers or with adapter Thunderbolt. I'll let you know how this works as I have one on order and my R740dx support U.2 so... How about 8 2.5" in the space of 5.25" like: IcyDock has some really interesting encloses for 2.5 & 3.5 drives to encloses for nvme https://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=321 that are modular. You could build your next NAS anyway you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
