Greetings. I don't mind Surveillance Station except I have 5 cams I'd like to use and can't buy additional licenses anymore for SS. I tried QVR Pro, on it's own volume of 1 TB. Away from home once I used the phone app to start recording and the volume filled up in no time at all. Surveillance station doesn't do that. I know that QVR records in multiple formats. I tried Blue Iris in a Windows 11 VM but on my TS-251, starting even one cam pushed the CPU to 100% so that's a no go. I have... Read more ..read more

Hello all, I am deciding which NAS to purchase, the TVS-h674 or the TS-873A. The TVS-h674 is out of my budget, but sometimes you must do what you must.

I have six 12TB hard drives, two 1TB NVMe for Caching, 32GB of memory, and two 500GB 2.5 SSDs, which I can use for another pool for ISCSI and VMs. I also own a... Read more ..read more

- Experiencing < 20MB/s transfer from desktop computer to NAS with very large file (> 256GB), when expected would be full Gigabit speeds (~125MB/s) - QNAP system is 16GB RAM and 4 HDDs in RAID5 (raw write performance in this configuration should be the same as of a single hard drive, ie ~150MB/s). - QNAP also includes 512GB NVMe SSD working as cache, which should prevent write bottlenecks. - Low CPU and memory usage of both computer and NAS - Tested with different CAT5e cables and router...

Hi all I could use some advice, I have a TS-231 which has 2 1TB disks in a RAID 1 array.
