Review: Excellent NAS for my music library (novice) - TLDR: Bought to store c.700GB music collection, replacing a 10+ year old NAS. Using two YouTube "how-to" guides, the QNAP was easy to set up, even for a NAS novice. It has been a revelation, both in terms of instant music access, handling large 500-900 song playlists, and being utterly unphased by large hi-res music files. The 24-bit upscaling of MP3s available via the latest version of Asset-uPnP (additional purchase) gives a noticeable sonic improvement. Recommended if you want to upgrade your music NAS. I bought this NAS to store all my music, replacing a 10+ year old Zoneripper NAS, which has been struggling with large, hi-res music files and big play-lists due to its limited RAM. I have c.700GB of music which I stream through a Linn Klimax DS over a domestic ethernet network. I fitted the QNAP with 2 x WD WD40EFZX Red Plus 4TB HDD set up as a RAID 1, and 2 x WD Red SN700 500GB NVMe SSD set up as a RAID 0 read-only Cache accelerator. My old NAS was set up by the shop I bought it from, so I'm a NAS novice, and I followed two YouTube videos to help with set up: MrTimTech: QNAP NAS - Easy Set-Up Guide Heads of Tech: QNAP NAS m.2 NVMe Install Guide | SSD Cache for MAX PERFORMANCE Using these videos got me through with no hiccups. Set-Up took about an hour, but then I waited 7 hours for the RAID 1 array to format. I had my music on a Western Digital Passport external drive, which I connected to the QNAP via the front USB-A slot and it took about four hours to copy across. The QNAP found the external drive almost instantly - I have read some people have had problems with this, but it worked straight away for me. Overall, installation and set-up took time and needed care from a novice like me, but I wouldn't chose a Synergy NAS over this because they are more "user friendly" - the QNAP is easy enough so long as you have some idea what you're doing. Finally, I bought a new copy of Asset-uPnP from Illustrate to manage my music library; there is a QNAP specific version on the Illustrate website and again, there are easy to follow instructions to set it up on the QNAP. In terms of performance, the QNAP has more-than-met my hopes. The Klimax DS found the Asset-uPnP library on my network instantly, and everything is super-fast and instant in terms of navigating the library and assembling play queues. Pages that took seconds to load are now instant, and whereas my old NAS would sometimes fail to load one big playlist I have (994 songs), the QNAP does it in about 3 seconds. Finally, while most of my music is stored as FLAC, the latest version of Asset-uPnP has the ability to upscale MP3s from 16-bit to 24-bit, resulting in a noticeable improvement in sound: MP3s are now almost indistinguishable from FLAC. The QNAP handles the upscaling easily. Overall, I'm very happy with this QNAP set-up, and frankly wish I'd made this change earlier. That said, while I think the NAS is good value for money (particularly compared to equivalent Synergy NAS), this whole set up cost nearly £800, including the NAS, the HDD and SSD drives and the Asset-uPnP software. I only hope that it lasts as long as my old NAS !
Review: QNAP TS-264-8G to the rescue - So after my 8 year old QNAP TS-253 Pro failed with the dreaded Intel Celeron degrading clock issue that occurs with that processor manufactured circa 2016, I was in desperate need of a new NAS. After researching 2 bay NAS units from Synology and QNAP I decided that I would stick with QNAP, the hardware of the TS-264-8G certainly is impressive for a consumer device, the old TS-253 Pro being more small business focused and well specified. Another deciding factor was the competitive price offered by desertcart, a good £60-80 cheaper than other reputable vendors. The setup was a breeze, I suppose my familiarity with the operating system QTS 5 helped with that but it is a relatively easy task for new users as you get a walk through process. I would recommend users first download and install the QNAP QFinder Pro app for Windows or other OS to make the process easier. The app will locate the NAS on the network and you can directly open a browser from it with the correct IP already set and continue setup via the browser. The first step of the setup will look for a firmware update and install that to get you up and running. My user case was straight forward as I was just going to transfer my Hard Drives from the old NAS to the new one, this worked well as both had the same firmware. That's something I really like about QNAP, even though the old one was a good few years old it has been well supported even though technically it is end of life. Before powering the new NAS up I had a look into the drive bay after removing the user removeable cover. The first thing I spotted was that the 8Gb of RAM was socketed and there was also a second unpopulated slot, so out came my box of computer bits and I found an 8Gb 2666 SO-DIMM that should theoretically work, popped it in and now have 16Gb which should help with a couple of VMs I run. Also accessible are the 2 PCI-e NVME slots which I plan to use at a later date, probably just as Cache but they can be used as part of the Storage Pool. There is also a rear slot that takes a low profile PCI-e card for peripherals. I must say that the whole NAS is extremely quiet in operation and I can barely hear it when I'm sat a foot away. As I said before the standard hardware is great, 2 x 2.5Gb network ports, 1 x HDMI, 4 x USB 3 ports, so that covers pretty much anything you'll want to connect to it. The drive bay carriers can take 2.5" drives with screws but if you're just using 3.5" they just clip in screwless. One thing that was immediately noticeable over the old NAS was the overall speed of the OS and interface, it's blistering by comparison. So far I am extremely happy that I purchased the TS-264-8G, I've no doubt its build quality and support will give me many years of sterling service. It's a shame the old one failed but I have since brought it back to life with the 100 Ohm resistor hack but the longevity of that is an unknown, it could last a day or go on forever, who knows but its not worth the risk?

## Features

- TS-264 / TS-464 / TS-664 are as fast as a single-port 10GbE NAS with up to 589 MB/s transfer speeds by setting port trunking with the two built-in 2.5GbE (2.5G/1G/100M) ports.
- Perform additional tasks, stream more media, and have more services running with an Intel quad-core processor optimised for multitasking.
- Built-in GPU for enhanced video conversion, allowing videos to be smoothly streamed from the NAS to mobile devices.
- If two M.2 slots aren’t enough, install a QM2 PCIe expansion card for more M.2 SSD slots.
- Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports allow faster backup to/from USB devices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little power house
*by M***J on 1 August 2024*

This is a small powerhouse of a NAS. For its size and cost its a brilliant piece of kit with room to expand, add SSD and faster network if required. Im running PLEX and VMs with no issues at all. 4k is smooth and transcodes are quick Its quiet, its quick, its well made. Its got plenty of options for connectivity and slots to add ssd/hdd for extra storage or backup as well as internal nvme slots and a slot for a card at the back Qnap is easy to use and set up and this is definitely worth the money
