Does anyone happen to have one of these, and might you be able to share any advice? I need trustworthy storage for a growing collection of video that is currently at about 28 TB. It is currently stored on an assortment of 6 TB and 8 TB USB drives, which is far from ideal. There is some redundancy, but it is getting to be a real mess.
I am thinking RAID-5 with the TR-004 with 3 16 TB Seagate IronWolf ST16000NE000 drives, since they are on QNAP's comparability list.
No need for NAS, and no need for tremendous read or write speed, this DAS would just hang off of a Plex server that rarely has more than one person using it at a time. This would be more of an answer to tidiness and data integrity than anything else.
I like QNAP in general, but some of the reviews on Amazon indicate that this cheaper, lower end enclosure may not have the build quality one would hope for. If anyone has suggestions for a DAS with hardware RAID, I would really appreciate your advice and comments.
Hope everyone is staying safe, keeping productive, and that deep breathing exercises and meditation have been enough to keep you from going crazy after being boxed up with those strangers who you once thought of as "family". They are counting on us, let's be good to them.
