Experience with TVS-h674

So after being a user of a TS-251+ for a long time (for home/personal use), we recently purchased a TVS-h674 for a client. We opted to go through a distributor and use QNAP’s turnkey set-up. Getting everything actually ordered, processed, and delivered was not a fun experience - but I think that has more to do with the distributor than anything else. The TVS-h674 has been very solid. Unfortunately, we opted to go with QuTS Hero for the turnkey set-up, and that was a bad choice for us since w…

Back in 2014, our school was drowning in paperwork. Student records were scattered, applications piled high, and financial data was a nightmare to manage. Then, we discovered Qnap.

Suddenly, our registrar’s office transformed. A powerful in-house server, like a digital brain, now handled all our crucial data: student information, admissions applications, scholarship records, and even our finances. It was like having a super-organized personal assistant!

The best part? We’ve only needed to upgrade the hard drive once in all these years. That’s a testament to Qnap’s reliability. Thank you, Qnap, for making our school life so much easier!

Hi, my experience with TS-233 here:

TS-233 my experience

Hello, I want to share my experience with QNAP TS-233. As it is my first NAS, and I haven’t had any high expectations it is doing a good job in my home. In the beginning I had some issues with the system hanging up after few days and only hard reset worked. I had to send it to Germany service center, and they somehow fixed it (probably flashed bios or something). Now I restart it only once per month to install updates. It has a quad-core CPU and 2 GB RAM, and I have 2x6GB Western Digital Red …

It’s great to trust the products and support that QNAP gives us. I believe that this community will contribute even more to improvements in NAS systems and devices.

Hello,
It’s great to use all-in one solution of QNAP products:
Here are my questions at the QuTS
1- Which block size(performance profile) must be used while creating a shared folder for office documents to achieve fastest read of files.
2- How can we change these block sizes after creating a specific shared folder?
Thank you : )

@ahmet

1- Which block size(performance profile) must be used while creating a shared folder for office documents to achieve fastest read of files.

Should be negligible for office files, you do not need crazy raw throughput for a few kb files.

@ahmet

2- How can we change these block sizes after creating a specific shared folder?
Thank you : )

I don’t think you can change those after the fact, same with the inode size for volumes, you would need to wipe the folder and restore from backups

Love the new community! Here’s my initial post:

My Experience - Good Unit but Buzzy

My TVS-951X is over 6 years old and still running great. One hard drive (a HGST) reported SMART errors about a year ago so I replaced it with a new one (a Seagate), which couldn’t have been simpler. No data loss. No downtime. It’s also never been hacked. It’s not exposed to the Internet, I use strong, unique passwords and 2FA on every sign-in. It’s also backed up nightly to a third party cloud service. The only issue with the unit is that the spinning hard drives cause a vibration which m…

@Experience with TVS-h674

multiple shares point to the same location with different security permissions applied

Don’t understand what you mean by this. Multiple (different) shares on same nas? Have both QTS and hero systems so I’d like to understand your issue. Thanks!

[ahmet]

@dolbyman

wipe the fold

Thank you for the reply,
File sizes reach to 200-250 MB , and I’ve selected 64k block size. Hope it works

Btw, I’ve another question:
I want to increase the opening duration for such files, and adding an M.2 SSD will improve this duration for those frequently used files, right?
or else do you recommend adding SSD disks for such shared folders?

Regards…

Hello Community,

since the beginning of 2023 I run a QNAP TS-673A with QuTS hero and it gives me a good feeling. I struggled a long time if I should invest in a professional NAS to backup my entire digital stuff. Now I know: it was a very good decision investing in a QNAP NAS. My expectations were far exceeded. Everything I need right in place. And much more.

Thanks!

@ahmet

File sizes reach to 200-250 MB

That is some mighty big ‘office’ files, can you please open a new topic ? So it does not clutter up this one?

Thanks

My relationship with QNAP started around 2012. I needed a small efficient RAID storage device to replace a RAID frame that had failed. Not only had it failed, it failed with a crash of the controller taking out one of the four drives permanently. Worse; this was a warrantee replacement for an earlier frame that had failed in exactly the same way. I need something RELIABLE!

My research led me to believe that the QNAP TS-420 was what I needed. My research was right. That little box served me well for five years. In 2017 I decided that I needed something more. I listed all of my MUST HAVE requirements and started searching for a solution that matched. A month later I saw an announcement of the QNAP TVS-882BRT3 and fell in love.

It was as if the clever engineers at QNAP had seen my list. A prefect match. It took me a few months to get the money together, but that system has served me exceptionally well ever since, and shows no sign of reaching the end of its service.

Meanwhile, I had upgraded my desktop from a Windows based system to an iMac Pro and the little TS-420 sitting in a closet suddenly became the perfect tool for a third tier backup, with off-site potential. The off-site part never happened but it sits here across the room
ho

lding the always current third tier backups to this day.

This month my desktop was migrated to a Mac mini Pro with Thunderbolt 5 capability. The Thunderbolt 3 service on the TVS-882BRT3 migrated without a glitch and the backups running under HBS3 are clean and unchanged.

Over the years I have needed support a number of times; generally due to my own ignorance. QNAP support has been beyond excellent. They have gone out of their way to assure that I had what I needed - quickly and clearly. This may be the highest value of QNAP. I cannot recommend their machines, service and support enough.

FYI I have over thirty years of IT experience, from IBM mainframes all the way to IOT. I know what I am talking about
