I would like to know if it is possible to have a single disk plus 2 disks in RAID 0 and the other 5 in a RAID 5 in the same 8 bay NAS (QNAP, Sysnology or Asustor). A multi-RAID option is available in Qnap, Synology and Asustor. The most configurable NAS will surely be […]
I use a Plex Pass… along with HDHomerun tuners. I’m looking to move my plex server to a NAS. Not positive I would use it.. but like the HDMI out options of QNAP and ASUSTOR. I like the price of the AS3202T and it seems capable of doing what I want… I rarely transcode away […]

Great review of the Qnap hs-453dx! 2 questions: – If I get 2x2TB 2.5 inch SSDs + 2x2TB m.2 SATA SSDs of the same brand like Samsung 860 evo or WD blue, would the system be able to RAID them? – Would aftermarket 2x8gb memory SODIMMS work? And is memory above 8gb necessary/useful on a […]
