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 […]

QNAP TS-230 vs DS218play

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

I thought Synology might be the better choice not only but as well due to some of your video comparisons.
