QNAP software and hardware will REALLY PUT YOU TO SLEEP trying to configure and setup. Not to mention that lousy 4GB RAM 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Quite happy with my QNAP TS-464. Its a tad beefier than the version you tested, but it does everything I needed it to do in a NAS and its rock solid stable. Bumped the memory to 64GB, trunked the 2.5GB NICs, running a 2TB cache array, and 4x18TB for the storage. Agree with you that some of the software should be more intuitive or provide some better documentation to understand this version from that variant. But those things are minor to me.
You can use one of the PCIe NVMe SSD to load the operating system. You just have to (I was told) load the OS when preparing the NAS with the Hard Drives out. Then you can use it to boot up on. Again I was told this by QNAP while I was looking to upgrade my system. It's slower than most but hasn't failed me yet (although I failed it a few times).
Important thing. QNAP TS-462-4G have soldered RAM. Cannot expanse.
I'm wondering why anything should have USB 2.0 ports now. 2 x USB 3 and a type C would be ok. But USB 2 ??? 🤮
Actually, SSDs ARE cheap. We aren't living in 2021 anymore.
It's so annoying, I just want a halfway decent NAS with hardware transcoding and the ability to run Docker containers.
I want Portainer, Gitlab+runner, paperless ngx, Ansible Semaphore and Jellyfin to run on it. I got the DS218+, which is fine for Gitlab and Portainer but for more it just isn't enough, even with a RAM upgrade to 6GB. I need to use a VM on my PC and this kind of hampers automation. Kinda wanted to get a DS920 but that's no longer available (at least at reasonable prices) and the newer versions don't support Hardware transcoding. What the hell is wrong with Synology?
On the other hand, I just can't deal with QNAP, for the reasons mentioned here.
TerraMaster F4-212 review soon?
Thank you for this review. I was going to buy a QNAP TS-464-8G (very similar to the model you reviewed), primarily as a plex server but also for security cameras. I like that TrueNAS runs on it well, but I think i'll wait for synology to come up with a better NAS for my needs worth the upgrade from my DS218+.
To get a terminal, just ssh in with the username you setup at the start.
Just like me. You will regret it.
Please see my comment 😢😢😢😢,Bro please tell me how to start the hp elitedesk 800 g3 automatically on after power outage
If anyone hasn't mentioned so far, QNAP and Synology have a ticking time bomb literally with a faulty LPC CLOCK which will kill all your devices and cause loss of data.
This is a known issue with the chipset used and users need to research, backup move their data and consider a class lawsuit against QNAp Synology or just bin the hardware and build your own NAS.
(Saying this after soldering a 230 ohm resistor to save 10 years of data on a RAID array..it has just booted and I'm backing up to then get risld of this junk)
Ive had the same problem with bind mounts on proxmox using a lxc with docker. Instead individual containers seems to work like fine. I'm just a beginner user in linux so im guessing its just a limitation somewhere but I could be doing something wrong.
Power consumption? File system(s)? ZFS?
A few years ago I bought the absolute cheapest, bare-bones 2-drive Synology just to try out. It has been up and running 24/7 with no problems. 2 WD Reds mirrored. I later installed VPN host software on it (OpenVPN) and that has worked reliably. Software was generally straightforward to use. Being the cheapest it does have limitations that, had I thought it through, I would have gone higher end. Soldered in RAM, not upgradable. Have to open the cabinet to install the drives. If I ever wanted to expand, I think I would just stick with Synology.
QNAP in the early days were great. They started to become crap as the OS and apps just went to hell. Was getting to where it was taking 45+ minutes to do a firmware update. Cold boot was just shy 9 mins before the unit was accessible. They just had such horrible security issues that just kept coming. I sold off all of mine except for one. The one I kept had an x64 CPU and place for two M.2 drives. So installed TrueNAS on it and is now a great usable system . Hybrid Backup Sync was a resource pig and I had to keep on reclaiming RAM as it was not releasing it and the system was running out of usable RAM. I also had an ASUSTOR NAS and it was fully accessible from cold boot in under 2 minutes. They went from very good to pathetic. I have owned over 5 QNAP units for over 10 years. I would never recommend QNAP.
Wait FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS for 4 4TB drives? That's absurd.
Isn't qnap the one that had several security breaches? Or at least one big one?
I had several QNAP NAS over the years, they almost always fail during updating and have too many bugs in the QTS. Synology devices never failed so far🤞
Turn off myqnapcloud turn that shit off xD what I did is to block the qnap cloud domain as some people mentioned security issues with qnap clouds connector: block it using dns or hostfile whatever suits you and have it behind a nat and don't put it on the public Internet
I purchase it throw Debian on it and call it a day. Would like it be better if it had 3 m.2 slots
