Raid together 2.5 inch SSDs AND m.2 SATA SSD- Qnap hs-453dx

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 […]

Qnap QXG-10G1T 10GbE card alternative

I’m looking at a QNAP TS-873 and am going to add a 10gbe card to it. The QM2 card is overkill as the NAS has M2 slots and the QXG-10G1T card is out of stock everywhere that doesn’t have inflated prices. In your opinion would this Asus card from Amazon work. Qnap is very open […]

Asustor AS6404T vs Qnap TS-453Be or Synology DS918+

Upgrade from AS-304T (5 year to old 4 bay). My AS-304T has a 32bit kernel limit of 16 TB volumes. It’s running 4x4TB in Raid 5 so it’s about 11 TB. Swapping drives (to 8 or 10 TB) won’t make it, as with the 16 TB limit there is not that much to gain. There […]
