NAS RAID question. I’ve never built RAID before but am on my 2nd DROBO for Time Machine backup. Considering a new QNAP TS653D.

TS-230 vs DS218play I can’t decide between QNAP TS-230 and Synology DS218play. Synology is about $50 more ($200 vs $250), but from the specs it looks like the HW encoder is better. I’m not planing to use Plex, but Video station on both devices. I found some conflicting information on TS-230 – it should have […]

Qnap vs Synology Q&A

Qnap vs Synology Q&A
