QNAP TVS-672XT 6 Bay Thunderbolt 3 NAS with 8GB RAM, 10GbE, M.2 PCIe Nvme SSD Slots

Having never used a NAS before, this is my first. Using the quick guide, the process of setting it up was fairly straightforward, but I ran into some snags when I was setting it up. You shouldn't make the same mistake I did when you buy this unit Here are some things to know so you don't make the same mistakes I made Please be aware of the following hardware warnings - If you are planning on buying the x72XT, make sure you also own a right-angle M. is what you need if you want to put it. There is no way you can put 2 cards into the x72XT, so you will need to remove the thunderbolt card. Approximately an inch of clearance is present between the thunderbolt card and its bracket. * 2) Don't forget to include M if you are adding it. Before removing the labels from the chips on the 2 cards, make sure you have ready whatever the manufacturer has applied. The process of buying a new NAS and two new computers is rather difficult. Before you do anything else, you should take a blade to the top of the M. It will take care of all your 2's and hard drives. The M card has two cards.
3) The M has three cards. You may want to use it as a read-write cache if you have 2 cards. Once you start dumping to the NAS, it's not enough to make a dent in the drive. The heat sensors on the controller will also pop up with the heat warning. If you want read/write on your NAS, then I'd recommend having them as read cache until the NAS is fully filled with everything you're backing up, then changing it to read/write afterward, that is if you want read/write anyway. The following warnings are displayed during installation 4. The guide leads you through a more or less intuitive setup process, which takes a bit of time to complete. Then it prompts you to login. When it finds the NAS, it populates the NAS name in the usename (such as The user must be set as an administrator. That had not occurred to me I kept entering the password I had given it, but kept getting a message saying it was not working. A reset of the unit and a fresh start were required. 5) If you set up Plex from the other device, please make sure that no other devices are connected to the Plex app A thunderbolt connection is used. One IP address is assigned to the thunderbolt port and the other to the It will not work if you try to set up Plex while you are connected to thunderbolt There is no server found for that address. I too was reset when I read that ) It may happen that you lose all your appstore icons. (

5) All your appstore icons will An ad is actually being displayed here QNAP is not the problem, it is a blocker. My experience is that clearing the cache fixed the issue on Firefox, and Edge worked as well. Unfortunately, I am still unable to get them back under Chrome. 7) However, QNAP will remind you that if you want to use their Q-based Backup software, you must install To use cloud services to access your NAS from anywhere, remember that all data is transmitted I think you ought to consider this. It's true that tech support is accessible via e-mail, and they can even do a live diagnosis, but this doesn't happen on a timely basis. Getting responsive answers to my questions is more likely to be found on the QNAP forum. If you want to install a $1500 NAS with $1600 of hard drives and $400 of RAM, you would have to have at least one NAS to do so. Waiting X number of business days is not really something you would like to do, especially if you work in 2's and such. Now that I have it set up and mostly loaded, it has taken me four days. If I knew the above, it would have taken me only 1 day. Other than that, it seems to be a good unit, even though it's a little noisy when a bunch of hard drives are being accessed at once.

It is a $1000 plus product that only has a one year warranty instead of the five year warranty. I would like to add an additional year and 3 years for $139 and $579 respectively. Is that true? Now, the toughest decision has to be made. It is okay to keep or use another item.

If you have two Macbook Pros and want to edit 4K videos, I highly recommend this server. The maximum speed I'm getting is around 700mps With the 7200RPM drives installed first, a 1000mbps speed test can be done with black magic, before you even consider installing the NVMe drives which should actually speed up transmission speeds. As I was noticing, the 10GbE connection runs much faster than Thunderbolt, which makes sense since I use Thunderbolt to make backups. Thunderbolt 3 connections should be faster, which is something I do not appear to have configured correctly. If you are interested in purchasing the computer, you may want to consider the 10Gbe connection option that replaces the thunderbolt 3 ports with two 10Gbes. As far as distance goes with 10GBE, I can use my computer up to 50 feet from the server while the Thunderbolt 3 is limited to three meters, which isn't one of the greatest distances for editing when both people are sitting right next to one another. The 10GBE thunderbolt adapter on the same server costs $150 more than the firewire connection, but considering you can get a thunderbolt cable certified for use on this machine for less than $80, the difference is not that significant and you get much The Thunderbolt 3 provides me with about 700mbps compared to the over 1000mbps I receive from IBUYPOWER. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for SMALL VIDEO WORK GROUPS with multiple members working on the same project at the same time. OUT OF ALL THE OPTIONS, IT IS THE LESS COST INVESTMENT THAT IS FASTEST. It's faster than the server with four x SSD slots that costs over 1k more, even if there are only two machines involved! I would advise all to take advantage of this deal. WE ARE THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR SMALL VIDEO EDITING.

the memory is too low. You eventually have to upgrade to a higher memory type in order to accommodate This machine can only handle 2x2 in both slots, so 4GB is not appropriate. The 4GB upgrade should have been offered on one shot, and it can be inserted in other slots. You gain nothing from 2GB if you upgrade or if you have another NAS to use it on. Aside from that, it is a nice upgrade and a good device. May - 18 - Adding more information after using the program for a few The NAS occasionally freezes and stops responding from the web interface or from an app running on a mobile device. NAS needs to be shut down from the NAS itself in order to resolve this issue. did not experience that in my earlier QNAP NAS, which I upgraded to.

Thunderbolt 3 is just one of several features and capabilities of this product. There are however some limitations that I have discovered The system only comes with 16GB memory, and to increase the memory to the full 32GB you need to replace the memory modules. There are several reasons for this 1) Hardware is not available for two Thunderbolt 3 PCIe cards and (2) Software does not support additional GPU cards. While I still have a lot to learn about the product, even with these limitations I think it's a terrific product. *UPDATE AFTER 1 MONTH Using V- I was able to upgrade memory to 32GB A 32GB color version of the Please note that if you choose a third-party memory it must not be a flash memory In addition to matching the other parameters, the ECC is also checked. It is now possible to add the QNAP Dual-Band to the device Expansion Card (QWA-NG) for a Band Wireless PCIe Direct Internet access to the NAS is now enabled via Wifi, and Internet access to the NAS is via A 2-piece set was bought for me I now have access to my NAS over the internet thanks to the SSL certificate I bought from QNAP for $45. To use this service, you will need to install the QNAP apps on iOS/Android. As I continue to work with this NAS, I am liking it more and more. The revised March 2020 update is as follows Despite numerous attempts, I still cannot get Thunderbolt 3 to work with Windows 10. It has been a few days since I called QNAP, but I am still without a solution.
