Review on 💻 TS-253D-4G 2 Bay NAS: Intel Celeron J4125 CPU with Two 2.5GbE Ports, Ideal for Professionals by Bob Kussmaul

This is my second NAS, my first was a Synology 412+, its main purpose is to double as a multimedia server for music and video too serve as a backup of my computers and, in the case of my old NAS, now acts as a media backup for this new QNAP NAS that was purchased to increase capacity beyond Synology's maximum capacity of 16TB (<11TB in RAID 5 configuration). to increase. This time, I chose QNAP as the feature set wasn't available on a comparable Synology, but was surprised that QNAP doesn't support my main video and audio file formats (MKV and Flac), both of which are supported by Synology's QNAP interface DLNA still allows me to stream MKV files to my LG TVs for decoding, but doesn't even show my FLAC audio files for streaming (have to use my HT receiver to play them, which easily picks up those files QNAP sees If you plan to use QNAP to decode media files (it has an HDMI output), first make sure it supports your formats, or prepare to convert all your files, which is what my case is almost 10 TB.
