Lately, I’ve been exploring QNAP due to its robust hardware, but it’s a little beyond my budget. Are there any suitable options? Will be using this as my video server/backup/ Jellyfin player mount point etc. Planning on using a graphic card to transcode 4k 2 or 3 videos per time. Just want something out of the box that doesn’t have to be configured.
Any experiences and recommendations with NAS would be greatly appreciated!
QNAP is a big NO…looking at their track record on security…
If you want to build one, you can think about getting TerraMaster 4 bay with Intel based CPU, replace the boot USB stick and you can boot your own NAS software
Oh, that sounds like also a bright way. How’s the performance and reliability based on your experience?
