QNAP TS-464-8G-US 4 Bay High-Performance Desktop NAS with Intel Celeron Quad-core Processor, M.2 PCIe Slots and Dual 2.5GbE (2.5G/1G/100M) Network Connectivity (Diskless)

I'm not a fan of this NAS. I bought it to back up my pictures, but it's been challenging to sync it with my computer folders. I have to admit, I'm disappointed with the experience.

細部まで保護フィルムが貼られており製品品質も良し。セットアップから運用までスムーズにおこなえる。起動中の音もほぼ気にならないくらい静音と言える。

I picked up this server to use as a dedicated media server, and overall, I’ve been really impressed with its quality and performance for the price. The build feels solid, it runs reliably, and for my needs, it’s been a great way to centralize my growing media library. That said, one important detail to be aware of is the processor. While it handles basic tasks without issue, it does struggle with transcoding in most scenarios. If you’re planning on streaming a lot of high-bitrate content or serving multiple devices at once, you’ll likely hit its limitations pretty quickly. In my case, I’ve found that it can handle a single 1080p stream fairly well. Direct play works perfectly, and it manages light transcoding if needed, but anything beyond that starts to push it too far. My ultimate plan is to pair this with a small, dedicated mini PC that can handle transcoding duties while letting this server focus exclusively on storage. Even with this limitation, I still think it’s a fantastic value, especially if you primarily direct play your media or are looking for a reliable storage solution. For anyone building a home media setup on a budget, this server offers a lot of flexibility and stability. As long as you understand its limitations and plan around them, it’s a highly recommended option for consolidating and managing your media library.

HDD installation was super easy and setup was simple. Performance is vastly better than my old ARM-based QNAP NAS. It was unclear reading the documentation whether I could upgrade the RAM on this model or not. QNAP's documentation said no, but I saw reviews saying they had changed the design to allow it. I did not open the NAS enclosure to determine whether that is true or not.

Works great with plex, Phone gallery backup while charging. Adding individual users with custom privilege, No need of a PC for downloading from internet. 8 local surveillance cameras can be added for recording, but none of the supported cameras are not that cheap and are not available in Saudi market 😟 Overall it’s a Great product 👍

Serveur photo avec implementation future de DDNS, toujours en cours car je n’ai pas encore terminé sa configuration. Pour mon installation, j’ai réussi à installer Ubuntu, qui devient le système d’exploitation de base, et l’interface graphique est visible si on connecte un écran, un clavier et une souris directement au NAS. J’aime cette solution, et je recommande fortement d’avoir un écran, un clavier et une souris dédiés connectés au NAS pour une meilleure gestion. Il faut d’abord se connecter via Qfinder Pro depuis un autre ordinateur pour finaliser l’installation d’Ubuntu. Une fois sous Ubuntu, je n’ai eu aucun problème pour installer MariaDB et Piwigo. Ubuntu et le QTS de QNAP ont chacun des adresses IP indépendantes, ce qui facilite la gestion. Je recommande également d’activer SSH/SFTP sur les deux environnements. Le problème avec le fait de rester sur QTS en utilisant leur MariaDB et PHP, c’est le support pour Piwigo et autres logiciels. Après beaucoup d’efforts, je ne recommande pas d’utiliser de logiciels tiers directement sur QTS. Pour bien tout gérer, Ubuntu est beaucoup mieux à mon stade d’adaptation. Mais je ne regrette rien. Je pense qu’il est important d’apprendre, car le plug-and-play ne fonctionne pas pour moi ici. Honnêtement, ChatGPT m’a beaucoup aidé, ainsi que les blogs et le service d’assistance de QNAP. Je n’ai pas encore fini, mais je suis très content ! :)
