While some mini ITX NAS cases do support multiple network ports, this will depend on the specific case model. Many NAS users opt to use a network switch to expand the number of available network ports on the motherboard. So pretty much a versatile approach to go for a barebone ITX NAS case. Are mini ITX NAS cases suitable for home or small office use? it would be great if you dig into the tvs-h474 just because of how different it is. I think a lot of users would be trying to decide between that and the tvs-472xt, especially us creators who want to edit off of it but might be wanting scalability because their creative studios may grow

If you’re only using 4 hard drives, go for a 4-port RAID card and save some money (a single SFF-8643 port) One of the biggest challenges here is that the Atom C3000 platforms are generally mITX or FlexATX size. As a result, they can be handled in smaller form factor chassis, and one does not need the larger CS381 size chassis. For some context, in the 8-bay ZFS server world, the Atom C3000 series is probably the best-fit solution from a SoC perspective, but we needed the right platform. We could, of course, use a smaller platform in the CS381, but we wanted to use mATX. Perhaps Bigger: Intel Xeon Scalable Solution All the recommended solutions support multiple drive configurations (RAID) for drive failure protection and performance enhancements Case comes with front end mounting plates for a flex PSU and a 1u server PSU also rear end plate for flex PSU plus a bag of screws for hard drive mounting to caddies. Amazing review Robbie!! Many thanks for all your efforts in covering everything. If only Synology pumped out a NAS with these specs… ????

Installation of expansion card up to maximum size will occupy one hot-swap bay space, please refer user manual for more information. Most of the time spent on this build was online, researching and sourcing the parts for the lowest possible cost. For a long time I had 2 possible compute builds in mind, with similar (pre-owned) costings:

The rest of the cabling was fairly simple, there being an ample amount of space under the drive bays to feed the fan cables and a large amount of free space on the top, partly as I was using a slightly smaller PSU as noted.The challenge here is that these chips felt a bit like no-mans land. We know that the eight high-speed cores offer excellent performance, but it is not exactly inexpensive, it is not exactly low power. We do not get RDIMM support for higher capacities for a server that could use that much power with enough memory. Maybe it was the fact that we had just done over two dozen pieces on the series, but I just did not feel this was the right fit for me especially given the lower-cost pre-built solutions out there based on Xeon E-2200 series. Dear Friend, First of all, thanks for the amazing review! I’ve bought a TVS-h874-i9 and i see there are some GPU that i can istall on it. My question is if there are other “new” GPUs that i can install on the TVS-h874. I was interested on the MSI GTX 1650 LP . Aside from the internal 3.5″ drive bays, the platform has access to 2-4 additional 2.5″ mounting points for SSDs, making it a great hybrid platform.

For AMD, the best choices are Ryzen 3/5/7/Athlon designated with “E” for low wattage and power efficiency (example: AMD Ryzen 3 3200GE or Athlon Gold 3150GE)Drive temps have seen a max of 41c and that's at load with the CPU at load creating heat. The CPU with a small noctua low profile cooler (again, i7 11700) has seen 70c as a max temp during a heavy load spike. Averages closer to the 60s under load. Typically cruises with a few streams in the 37-40c range.

Supermicro A1SRI-2758F Intel C2758 8 Core 32GB 8 Bay NAS Quad RJ45 IPMI 12TB LSI” was all that was on the listing, along with a note that it was ‘tested working’ (whatever that may mean). No more details at all. I just received my TVS-h874 yesterday! I am coming from synology. I have a 920+ and 1821+. Synology has decided to “design out” multimedia Plex users as the 920+ was the last good Plex NAS from them for that purpose. THIS THING IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Intel UHD 770 FTW!!!! On a semi related note, I have a 920+ and 1821+ for sale. OpenMediaVault — Based on Debian, supports SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more. See screenshots. The enclosure of the CS280 comes in at 221.5mm (W) x 176.7mm (H) x 301mm (D) or 8.72” (W) x 6.96” (H) x 11.85” (D). As we can see by the above pictures there are ample cooling vents along the sides and top of the case. Here are the key specs: SilverStone CS280 Specifications

A top review! And the device is actually top-notch. If it weren’t for QNAP’s unspeakable licensing policy with QTS Hero. Here there is only QVR Elite for camera monitoring, which you have to buy through expensive monthly additional subscriptions. A NOGO for me. Overall, QNAP is going completely in the wrong direction with its camera monitoring solution and licensing. This should be included in the price of such an expensive product. I look forward to the next tests of the device. FreeNAS — Supports Windows SMB, Apple AFP, Time Machine, and Unix NFS, as well as FTP and WebDAV with many advanced features & add-ons. See screenshots.
