Hi, for the last few years I've used a basic WD EX2 Ultra with 2x4TB drives. I need to increase the storage now and WD indicates that to do this I also need a 48W power supply. Fine--however, they will give me the specs for it but they don't sell the power adapter now and are unwilling to give me the MFG and part number so I can simply buy it outright from another vendor. So, first question: does anyone here know the MFG and part number for this adapter (which they included with the 0 drive or gt 10TB drive units)? I can use the specs but I'd be more secure using something they've tested for the box.
Second question: this has started me thinking that I'd rather have a better NAS and I've been looking at your channels videos and I'm thinking about either the QNAP TS-464-8G-US 4 Bay or the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus because I have Docker needs (databases, etc) that I think might be well handled by this. The UGREEN seems superior in that the RAM can be expanded and the processors are pretty new. The QNAP has the advantage of superior software but it doesn't appear as if the RAM can be expanded. Is that a fair understanding of the differences?
Thanks much
