NAS purchase - Enquiries - 01-13-2023
Need a NAS (weirdly having my heart set on QNAP). I will need a huge amount of storage, was think 12 x 18TB for raid storage, like maybe QNAP TVS-h1688X, also having SSD installed for cache. Surveillance capability for 3 cameras is also needed, so was thinking an add on graphic card as well, 2 x 32 ECC Ram now that I am spec' ing up the unit(s)
Will need a backup as as well, what is recommended from your expert, is QNAP better for these requirements? What models (main NAS and backup NAS) should I get, graphic card, RAM etc.
Thanks

Yes, Qnap 88X series are very powerful models. Shame that Qnap charges people for camera licences on yearly bases. Synology has one-off cost.
Also CCTV does not work well with Hero OS. But you get to choose QTS at the setup.
I hope this helps.
