Suggestion for additional expansion for TVS-h1288X

English General

Hi. I have a TVS-h1288X with a TL-D800C for expansion. I’m looking at adding another 8 bays. According to Qnap’s website only one TL-D800C can be attached at a time. I don’t need all my files all the time so I don’t really mind using one at a time. Questions:

  1. Is there any reason to go with the more expensive TL-D800S?
  2. Is there a way to connect 2x TL-D800C’s at the same time?

If you cannot add enclosures…why not use additional QNAP NAS and VJBOD?

Would that not be more expensive? It’s not that I can’t add enclosures, I’m just trying to figure out the best and most affordable solution.

But if you cannot add enclosures…that would be an option

Yes, we only support adding one TL-800C expansion unit.

Could you tell us more about your application scenario? Understanding your specific needs will help us explore if there might be a more optimal solution for you.

Thanks!

Sure thing Steve. I maintain a library of raw video footage. I do not need access to all the footage all the time. I currently keep my most recent projects on the TVS-h1288X and move the older ones to the TL-D800C. But both are now full, so I was thinking of adding a second TL-D800C. But I think I will then only be able to access one fo the D800Cs at a time. I could also go for a D800S but it is more expensive. Just trying to decide which solution is better.
