QNAP Turbo NAS TS-464-4G SAN/NAS Storage System

It is a great NAS, I mainly use it to share my media library (consisting of more than thousand movies and two times more TV series) with my close friends around the world. Besides, it is a great help to organize my personal files; especially when it comes to reach out to these files remotely.If I may humbly recommend:- Use the screws that come in the box to fix the HDDs to their plastic shafts. This would eliminate the noise of the HDDs drastically.- Upgrade the RAM; thus you can have the device do more with less effort. I have upgraded mine with 32 GB RAM (2x16GB So DIMM DDR4 2666MHz). And it works smoothly. Having said that, QNAP officially recommends the max RAM capacity to be 16GB. So do your own due diligence. Finally, I wouldn't go with the 3200MHz RAMs as they have a higher CLL and generate some complications.

This is my 1st Nas Server, with enough YouTube videos I was able to set up unit. Installed emby media server and it’s runs like a champ. Only grip is that server took about 12hrs to synchronize 4 8tb HDs and over a day to transfer 7tb worth of movies from usb external HDs, so set aside a couple of days to setup unit and transfer data. Overall I’m pleased. PS Great seller as item arrived in perfect condition, was a little worried from some of seller’s reviews

I bought this because my old NAS (ts-453a) dies on me and made me panic. I read that this model could migrate my old drives directly into this new NAS without losing data so I crossed my fingers and followed directions and sure enough once I put my old drives into this new NAS all my data was there just fine. Quite a relief.Qnap isn't for the tech averse folks. You have to be willing to dive into some tech talk and settings and forums sometimes to get things working and optimized. It can be frustrating but done right it can have great backup and redundancy for piece of mind.I am also using this as my multimedia server for Plex. So far it's handling that beautifully as well. Streaming 4k movies to my tv.

I'll keep this short... I love it! There is a big learning curve but its well worth it.

I use to love my Synology DS920+ but the slow file transfers made me fall out of love with it. I purchased the QNAP Turbo NAS TS-464-4G because of the 2.5gb ethernet connections. My file transfers have gone from 112mbs to 265mbs, sustained, over CAT 6a cable. The Synology has better software but the Qnap has better hardware, hands down. As a home user I need the Qnap hardware more than the slightly better Synology software. I only wish I had not waited so long to buy the Qnap.

I test the Qnap. Silent with no issue. I Install a SFP+ card from Mellanox. I will recomand this model for media streaming.

It is an easy setup, and the backup software is good for synchronizing to Microsoft One Drive and others. Time Machine needs some work, it's difficult to get working. Now the terrible thing, if you power cycle this NAS say every day, that will trigger a resync, which for my 32gb, 4x8gb, takes over 180 hours. which is well beyond my daily shutdown at 11pm and startup at 11 am.... so, mine is in a constant state of resync which slows this NAS to a crawl. With the hardware in this NAS this should not be happening, google it and you will find this is an ongoing problem with QNAP.

It's very nice system when it works, we are trying to use it for our plex server and it keeps crashing and going offline. We upgraded ram and bought new hard drives to meet its expectations and It still doesn't work right.
