Currently have a QNAP TS-464-4G with all 4 hdd's occupied.These are nearly full (plex server) and are in raid 5. Looking for the best way to add another 4 drives. I have the TS-464 connected to a ups which forces shutdown incase of sudden power lose which if possible i would like the expansion hdds to also do. From my understanding something like this is what im looking for QNAP TR-004 4 Bay Desktop NAS Expansion but wanted to know if i could use a cheap nas as these seem to be even cheaper and just use it as passthrough for the drives to current nas like TerraMaster F4-210 4-bay NAS Quad Core. Also would like to know if a enclosure states it does not support raid like this TERRAMASTER D6-320 External Hard Drive Enclosure Does this mean it doesnt support hardware raid only or hardware and software raid. And if it does support software does my nas support it?
