Thank you for the reply, and I can confirm this now. This is great news, as these drives are significantly cheaper than the 3400 series! Cheers.

Hi. Thank you for this. I have mistakenly purchased an SNV3500 vs SNV3400 for my DS923+. It seems there will be no difference in capability of the drives,

Despite QNAP’s better hardware I chose the Synology DS423+ because my primary use was for Plex Server transcoding. In their head to head matchups on NasC

Which type of RAM could be used to upgrade the NAS?
DDR3 1600 non ECC is the listed compatible one. Are different types as well compatible? ECC? 1333, 1833

I know you like your Jonsbo's Rob. But how about building in a short (max 30cm) rack box? Something like Innovision (AliX) or German brand Inter-Tech that

I'm far from expert level, so I've just calculated this ad-hoc for PCIe 2.0:
1 x PCIe slot: x4 (4 x 0.5 = 2 GB/s)
2 x SATA: x2 (2 x 0.5 = 1 GB/s)
1 x USB3

That's the way I understood it. I can't say what would happen if you also stuck a PCIe 3.0 or 2.0 x4 10GbE network card into the PCIe slot. (If you went fo

Can't say about CasaOS, and couldn't find anything, but with Unraid you can surely use the two SATA ports for a ZFS mirror or even stripe… or buy an addi
[REPLY]
Totally agree. For me, two 2.5GbE ports is the minimum nowadays. And if you're realistic and allow for two SATA drives, and account for customers using SAT
[REPLY]
Hmm… only one SATA port, no PCIe slot. It's a powerful machine with the i7, but I don't see how the VP4670 could be used as a NAS.
[REPLY]
Agree. The CPU only has 6 PCIe 2.0 lanes. The perfect machine for me would be: slightly bigger, a better Celeron with at least double the PCIe lanes, proba

Good idea! But you'd need a 10GbE PCIe network card (SFP+ or copper). It's a pita to access your Time Machine backups over a slow network connection. If yo
