I am going to be moving from Synology to QNAP. QTS is good enough for my use cases and their NAS hardware is much up to date. Synology has really dropped the ball...
Thanks for this video. I had no idea the firmware update I did to my NAS was a beta. I use the Qmanager app in my phone to check for firmare updates and saw that hero 5.2 was available and so I pushed the update. It was not till I saw your video on the QTS 5.2 Beta that I checked into the version of QuTS Hero 5.2... and sure enough it's a Beta. I can't believe I have a Beta running. I really can't remember seeing a Beta warning on the app when I updated!
Hy, love the value of information you give to NAS lovers. Please, can you give an advice for a 4-bay RAID-5 only to Store data like Documents and Video and Photo stuff with a Great Samba Setup? I doing my Self Hard to ma my self a descision to one of the many available systems out there as a NAS beginner. Thanks for your time and greats from Germany
Is the N5095 in the TS-264 keeping up with the 5.2 Beta? I'm considering getting the TS-464C2 which has similar specs and want to know if it has sufficient performance.
I hope this upcoming release really does improve the SMB performance again. Their last full release (5.1.6) also specifically targeted this, but it’s still not smooth or consistent throughout the entire file transfer, although the update did make an improvement to making the transfer a bit faster overall. I have always assumed that my Ryzen powered NAS should perform like a computer connected to the network, but it’s never been like that, never as smooth or consistent, with the Windows file transfer graph resembling a sawtooth wave. I have many minor gripes with QTS, like why does it take so long to boot up and shut down? Things like that, and the general delays and waits for things to happen, slow GUI (something else they mention they tackle with in 5.2.0) at times etc just makes me feel that QTS is maybe not so optimised sometimes. Yes it’s very feature rich, and after a few updates to the current major version, it’s now relatively bug free, but it can be slow as molasses doing the simplest tasks sometimes.
@@nascompares Sorry if I pulled the shotgun on my comment matey, I did not intend to cause offence or be sarcastic to illicit that kind of response from you. It’s a RU-vid comment, so I didn’t flesh it out as much as maybe I should have, as I certainly never expected the man himself to answer, even if it did come across like you are expected to sarcastically shoot down a QNAP customers criticism! But I do honestly feel that my TS-873A has great specs for a NAS, but its transfer rate has always been incredibly unstable. The drives I have in it are all large capacity, modern enterprise drives from the usual 3 suspects. When you send a file (one single large file) to the NAS, and you watch the file transfer, it starts off great, about 255MBs, then after about 500/700MB of the file has moved, the transfer speed reduces to 2 or 3MBs for about 3 seconds or so, then goes back up to about 255MBs, then rinse and repeat every 10 seconds or so, like some kind of buffer has filled up. I installed a new QTS release (5.1.6) about a week ago (I do not let the NAS connect to the Internet due to QNAP's terrible security track record, which was actually good advice from you back in the day, which is why I'm uncertain when this update showed up), which I think came out a week or two earlier, and it’s release notes said that QNAP had specifically worked on improvements to SMB file transfer speed and reliability, and yes, it is better than before. One of those things I suppose but it always left me a little disappointed in the NAS, and my investment into implementing 2.5Gb networking to get the best out of it. But regardless of what you think of me, I like your channel, and always find it informative.
