Which Qnap NAS runs ZFS? Does the TS-653D work with ZFS? Could you please test Quts Hero on the x53D series? Was hoping to future proof my purchase and get something (reasonably priced like the TS-635D Celeron based) that will run now or in the future Quts-Hero. If I could know for sure the 653D […]
Buy RAM to my NAS Tried to find two of these RAM memories on the Swedish market, but seems difficult. Prod no CBD24D4S7D8ME-16 QNAP TVS-873e and TS-932x You can also search by specs.

NAS RAID question. I’ve never built RAID before but am on my 2nd DROBO for Time Machine backup. Considering a new QNAP TS653D. I know I don’t have to fill all the bays initially (and probably won’t given short/intermediate term storage needs) but like the options of going from perhaps 4 to 6 drives, allowing […]
In respect to the streaming within my home network, I am beginning to collect some x265 4K movies however I am unsure when I purchase a chromecast dongle to “beam” this content into an older TV in the bedroom whether the dongle will downgrade to the max 1080p capacity of the older TV? Do you […]

WD Gold HDDs Hi, I am confused about something. I am interested in using a WD Gold 4TB drive in an external hard drive enclosure to back up my data from my PC. I thought these would be best in class for this purpose. I thought they might be better than the SeaGate Iron Wolfs. […]
That was the direction I was considering. Is there a significant performance difference between the DS1618+ and the DS3018xs to justify twice the price? Do you have a Thunderbolt/10G adapter that works well? There is performance difference between these two. You can not mix different size drives in the same RAID on DS3018xs. But […]

These would be used by our staff who are working remotely and likely will be for some time. Would the NetGear wifi mesh ex6100 be a good recommendation? What about the TP-Link Deco […]
