Hello I currently use a TS-219PII which is well past its sell by date, any suggestions for a best replacement please.
What is the required new featureset,performance and budget?
@BigPaul If you were happy with the TS-219P II and just wanted to get a new unit with a couple of new features and a bit faster then our TS-233 would be the closest option.
It has a 2GHz CPU like your current NAS but it’s now a Quad-Core so will perform much faster, you will also get 2GB RAM vs the 512MB your current unit has.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like a specific feature that your current NAS or the newer TS-233 does not have and I’ll see if I can find something suitable for you.
Yes, techically it has 2GB RAM installed, but only 1.5GB is available for use. The remainder is reserved. 
Still, it’s triple the RAM, which isn’t a bad thing.
Hi thanks for the advice, after much research I have bought the TS-464 8g. I am a novice but with time should get it setup the way i want it. My old QNAP has 2X 1TB drives I have 2X Seagate 4TB IronWolf drives. What is my best option to migrate to my new QNAP?
IMO, the BEST option is to configure your new unit from scratch and copy the data over. You don’t have much data and this would give you a backup in case something goes wrong (you should always have a good backup strategy in any case). Keep your old unit functioning if you can as a secondary unit for extra data or future backups.
There are of course many other options.

Can I easily migrate out of this to a TS233?
TS-219P
Current firmware version:
4.3.3.2784
Date:
06-19-2024
Only if it’s an emergency, as the migration would result in a crippled legacy volume
Thanks dolby, you made me dig around. Found that I need to power up the TS233 without my old dives and choose the QTS-xxx option when asked, then power off, insert old drives and power on. (and cross fingers) https://youtu.be/hz8uTVL-wCA
Note: your drives must be erased during the setup, so ensure you’ve backed-up the data first.
If you don’t erase the drives, you’ll end-up with the legacy volume mentioned by @dolbyman.
