Lost my interest at $1100
-
I like how it has the aesthetics of a simple object that will blend in on my desk under a pile of clutter until it overheats.
-
Now with 2x price as well 😅😅
-
I find its form factor attractive. But given the price and constraints, I would rather build a proper 4U......
-
Pricing is a joke : 1600 € for the i3 and 3000 € for the i6 Have QNAP been taken over by Apple ?
-
It’s not hard to deduce the target audience: supports enterprise drives with high endurance, has relatively competent CPU for NAS, thunderbolt, and networking = video content producer who dumps and edits over thunderbolt, transcodes with CPU (don’t need tons of RAM), upload or access from another machine over net. Sure enough “ Designed for film sets, small studios, small-scale video production teams and SOHO users” and “ njoy the smoothest experience ever in real-time video editing, large file transfer, video transcoding, and backup. The TBS-h574TX, as the bridge between pre-production and post-production”
-
Was really excited to see this over the Asustor… then saw the 5 drive limitation, 12/16GGB RAM limitations (non upgradable) and associated prices. Allowing this device to leave my dreams and drift into the forgotten realm of could have been great hardware.
-
Why locking barrel plug for power isn't a standard yet?
-
Its a good direction, but for 5 disks I would rather use socket AM4/AM5 boards, that can do bifurcation 4x4 out of x16 slot. With 2xM.2 onboard i can use same or even better setup and on fullspeed w/o this annoying RAM limitation. With AM5 it can be even fullspeed pcie 5.0 drives. If I'll get cooling problems I always can limit tdp in bios to 35w (or any number I like)
-
Lost me when they didn't include an SFP+ port for 10Gb, then the price cemented it....
-
I love the swapability and flexibility of this system. When these hit the second hand market, I'll have to snag one.
-
Very much looking forward to the Topton clone in a few months
-
As someone in the apple ecosystem, I would have given this a shot if it took widely available u.2 drives. The pricing is crazy but with u.2, it may have made that easier to swallow. I currently run 2 u.2 drives with owc pcie boxes and have been looking for something like this but with u.2 but everything that supports u.2 in the nas space is either overkill, expensive or both
-
Excellent presentation. Thank you for an honest review. For that money, I would personally take a Synology DS1823xs+.
-
FOR THE BARGAIN HUNTERS: At a fraction of the cost, you could buy a used HP Prodesk Mini and put drives in it, and run OMV or TrueNAS. You might only get a few drives in there but, it's good for a home NAS. A used 600 G3 runs about $100 Oh and it's smaller than this.
-
We need more nas devices like this utilizing ssd, m.2 to drive down the price.
-
In this price range, you can get a Xeon-D-based 1U micro-server from Supermicro. It will allow you to connect to at least 5 drives with 4 lanes + give QAT acceleration, ECC memory, and potentially even a 25GBe port in just slightly bigger box.
-
Or use a dell box with nvme adapters. Love this stuff, but man they make em outta diamonds.
-
Great video. Interesting product (despite questionable execution) albeit out of my budget and it seems high for what it is. Can’t wait for edsff drives to be more common. Kinda hoping m.2 is replaced by something else as it seems to struggle with the higher speed pcie
-
I love low power SSD NAS's, and with the price of SDD's still getting lower I recently swapped my 4U out into a 2U ultra short throw chassis using 4x4 bifurcation on an AM4 AsRock Rack board and an old R5 3600 I had kicking around. Superbly powerful, small, cool, quiet, fast and sips power. Unraid on it. Love it. But this QNAP thing is like 3-4x the cost that I spent just doing it myself, and I can expand mine much easier.
