I have a DS213j, which by today’s standards is a Nightmare. Before Christmas, I’d like to get something like the NAS that you discussed today, which looks like a great alternative.
I've switched from an old DS215j to the TS-364 because it was on sale for 390£ and I'm quite happy. I'd say 2x M.2 and 3x 3.5 inch bays are the perfect combination. My only concern is that the NAS feels a bit cheap, and likes to resonate with my Enterprise drives which is not ideal. Oh and the M.2 slots are NVMe ONLY, not SATA, which is unfortunate.
So here down under in the colony we don't get the usual snow, sleet and rain but we do get bushfires, droughts with flies, flies and more flies - truly A Nightmare Before Christmas
A Nightmare Before Christmas indeed. Great video as always. Can an M.2 drive be used as primary storage for the OS and apps so that, for example, you can use all-surveillance HDDs and they would be doing little to no read at all during normal operation?
@@QNAPUK I guess that's why my next NAS would also be a QNAP (rather than Synology where it's only for caching - I trust both brands, but this is an extra bit of flexibility I plan to use. Oh, and 2.5GbE). I'd like to see the TS-464, though :)
One issue I have with my 332X does not support RAID conversion. You have to backup and restore. I ended up getting another 443X and three more 6Tb drives then setting that one with RAID and copying everything from the first NAS over. I then had to reinstall and reconfigure the Apps as well. Finally. I set the first NAS up as a mirrored copy. A fifteen-hundred-dollar solution to the issue! Finding external 6Tb drives is impossible right now.
A Nightmare Before Christmas That NAS may be a niche, but it has a lot to be quite useful. Definitely has possibilities. Wonder if the SSDs are better as caches or storage.
Seriously please guide or share a link on where to buy this product! Qnap e-commerce doesn't have it or even list it! And neither does Amazon or Newegg!! So please if you know where to buy it that would be awesome and many thanks for your amazing NAS videos
Never used a QNAP before. Just have an old wd nas and it's still served it's purpose till this day. Thought might just used it for 2nd backup. The Nightmare before Christmas was the title?
Thank you as always! I like the hardware - I hate the design. Is it possible to make a video comparing this with the QNap TS-453D please? It's the one I was going for before I watched this one
It’s going to to be -32c with a windchill of -42c here tonight; an absolute cold one which is A nightmare before Christmas, I will Not be Home Alone tonight but may be a grinch given the circumstances. Not overly fond of the 3 bay; could you do a video on DA drive analyzer?
I was thinking of starting with this and 2 drives with RAID 1. Would I see a huge improvement with a RAID5 when it comes to speed performance? would using the nvme drives for cache help improve a RAID1? I think that I'd end up with a RAID 5 and 3 drives at some point, but I'm not sure if I'd need to start with that.
I bought this NAS a week ago and I am returning the unit. When using HBS (to copy SSD backups of MacBooks) I get NAS out of memory errors and the system eventually crashes. Or just doing background tasks for QuMagie. I give up. I ordered a Synology DS-920+.
So, in light of QNAP targeting the Prosumer market with this 3-bay (which suites me down to the ground for size) do you think Synology may follow in the same vane during 2022 to keep market share ?? Pity they don'y have good designers for the exteriors of their units, white is so off putting and is pretty much a dirt/fingerprint magnet. Love the idea but their implementation as to accessibility leaves a lot to be desired, if Synology took the DS420+ and made it a 320+ could be the goods.
Losing data is a nightmare anytime, whether it's a "Nightmare before Christmas", or a Nightmare after New Year's, or even a Nightmare on Halloween. In every hard drive there lives a goblin just waiting to devour the unprepared. Be prepared with your own set of Ready Always Insulating Demons (RAID)
I mainly record some online pc gaming. I edit with Radeon, and upload via streamable. I am not streaming. I don’t want to constantly have to delete files from my ssd. What nas would you suggest for me? It would be my first as well. Right now I’m using a 4tb external qvo ssd.
I'm confused why one would buy a cheaper model like this if you were going to spend money buying M2 upgrades, etc...what exactly do they offer you with only 2.5GBe? Wouldn't 3 mechanical hard drives in RAID saturate that bandwidth without assistance? Am I missing something?
USB backup in front seems to be a match for mechanical drives rather than SSD. Curious, can the USB 3.2 gen 2 ports on the back use an 10g Ethernet adapter?
we know QNAP devices shouldn't be use for not offering any minimum decent level of security (hard coded credentials, apps running as root). I know you are sponsored by QNAP, but if you care about your subscribers you should stop reviewing and promoting QNAP devices. Doesn't how good their hardware look and cost it's a software drama (not just security but also plenty of usability bugs). We need more honest reviews than don't obmit important stuff like the security track records of this joke company.
Thanks for your thoughts man. Just to be clear though, I am not sponsored by QNAP and though they send these units from time to time, I am completely independent. Regarding security, if I removed brands from this channel based on security flaws, vulnerabilities, hacks, malware and times that data was lost - I WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE ALL OF THEM! Syno hacks, seagate 1.5TB fails, WD SMR, Drobo support, Google outrages, OneDrive Password exposure, DropBox open sync vulnerabilities....honestly, I cannot think of a single brand that hasn't dropped the ball... Yes, QNAP have been the flavour of the month on this topic, but the wheel will spin again and others will come, they come round again and so on and so forth. Remember, brands can ONLY stay 1 step ahead from those looking to break the code. Imagine if started EVERY review, all brands and listed the security flaws/blips in the last 10yrs? I'd never actually GET to the product. Even a glimpse here, on the NC vulnerability tracker, will show you just a handful of brands - nascompares.com/security-advisories/ In short, I do get that you have an opinion of this brand and it's justified/backed up. But don't think I'm not keeping these things in mind.
I will never buy another QNAP NAS after my first and last one failed and thew way i was treated when looking for support - there are so many better less hyped options, besides that this guy is owned by QNAP and is nothing more than a puppet....
I can't wait to be Home Alone watching A nightmare Before Christmas, after a good dose of this channel!
Nightmare before Christmas, yesss when the outlaws come over.
"Nightmare Before Christmas" Thanks for the work you do, all the best
A nightmare before Christmas, would be me being home alone and the interweb goes down and I can't view this amazing chanel with wicked content.
I'm really starting to like this nas i going to take the plunge soon. Hopefully it won't be a "Nightmare before Christmas" Great vid.

Hope you have no Nightmare before Christmas, appreciate the content as always.
Ah, truly A Nightmare Before Christmas those seagulls be, especially when you're Home Alone!
Many thanks for all your helpful videos! Great work!
Thank you for the advice always trying to avoid A nightmare before Christmas or at any other time
A nightmare before christmas. Nice video i am looking for a nas for weeks now
A Nightmare Before Christmas, happy New Year!
Fast USB so you will not have Nightmare before Christmas, but we do not want to listen you say Home alone :)
Gotta love that Boogie man from A Nightmare Before Christmas, scary like that sweet NAS.
Never seen A nightmare before Christmas!
A Nightmare Before Christmas .. Qnap always give us a festive feeling :P
Could it be 'Nightmare before Christmas'?. 'I hate seagulls' is not a movie.
A Nightmare Before Christmas indeed.

As with everything seem to be a usage case question.

This would be a good candidate as a second NAS (backup).
Definitely Tim button's nightmare before Christmas. 🤔 I wonder if yify has it in 2160p...
A Nightmare Before Christmas.. The greatest Christmas film since Die Hard
The film was The Nightmare Before Christmas.
It’s going to to be -32c with a windchill of -42c here tonight; an absolute cold one which is A nightmare before Christmas, I will Not be Home Alone tonight but may be a grinch given the circumstances. Not overly fond of the 3 bay; could you do a video on DA drive analyzer?
I wouldn't want to have a Nightmare Before Christmas... Shame about the 10G ports.
Not watching your channel and buying the wrong NAS might end up being A Nightmare Before Christmas.
A Nightmare Before Christmas
Interesting machine especially as a "under the TV NAS" for movies and stuff.
My xpenology rig is a nightmare before Christmas so winning something better would make for a happy new year.
It's a "Nightmare before Christmas". Dem backups.
Has anybody found this for sale anywhere?

If things go wrong, you wont have A Nightmare Before Christmas.
A Nightmare Before Christmas; but also, Home Alone 😉
Oh ffs...
@@nascompares There's no winning 🙂
A nightmare before Christmas would be losing important data.
Nightmare before Christmas was the movie title.
I hope I'm not Home Alone otherwise it would be A Nightmare Before Christmas!

Hi, a question about USB 3.2 ports: is it possible to connect a PC directly to the USB ports, like on TS-453BT3?
I mainly record some online pc gaming. I edit with Radeon, and upload via streamable. I am not streaming. I don’t want to constantly have to delete files from my ssd. What nas would you suggest for me? It would be my first as well. Right now I’m using a 4tb external qvo ssd.
Hi, what would be the recommendation QNAP TS-364 or older Synology DS920+?
I'm confused why one would buy a cheaper model like this if you were going to spend money buying M2 upgrades, etc...what exactly do they offer you with only 2.5GBe? Wouldn't 3 mechanical hard drives in RAID saturate that bandwidth without assistance? Am I missing something?

The other issue is that connecting a UPS consumes one of your precious USB ports for monitoring! an expensive solution to a critical issue.
Is this model support non-oficial ram sticks?
USB backup in front seems to be a match for mechanical drives rather than SSD. Curious, can the USB 3.2 gen 2 ports on the back use an 10g Ethernet adapter?
SSD on gen 1 ssd is fuking rapid. Most SSD's CANNOT sustain enough to fill it. Sure they can burst it for 30 seconds but speed drops down a lot.
Does it perform better than the 453d? Is it a better purchase today?
I never ever saw A Nightmare Before Christmas, and if i dont win, I will never :D
So? I won now? ^^
The lack of 10Gb is a deal-breaker for me. Since I already have a 332X I would be better served with another 332X.
I am curious if one of the 3.2 gen 2 USB ports on the back can take a 10g Ethernet adapter and function as such.
The design is a Nightmare before Christmas...
Any idea if you can connect 5gbe via USB card ?
Should i buy a ds920+ or wait for a ds922+ ?
nightmare before christmas?
A Nightmare before Christmas and al through the house Not a NAS was stirring not even beside the mouse.
I can't seem to find it for less than 500+ euro...
Nightmare before Christmas. I guess it takes all kinds, even Tim Burton fans... *wink, wink*
It would be a A Nightmare Before Christmas to not win any of your cool tech 😁
Definitely Home Alone this time.
I love your reviews... and please don't take this as me being mean. please do something with your teeth. It's so distracting.
