Thanks for reaching out! I appreciate your question about upgrading your QNAP NAS.
Between the TS-464 and the TS-873A, I would recommend the TS-873A if your budget allows for it. While both models are solid, the TS-873A offers a more powerful AMD Ryzen processor and greater expandability, including more RAM slots and support for additional storage options. This will give you better performance and flexibility as your storage needs grow, especially since you mentioned wanting to expand without external modules down the line.
If you're primarily focused on performance and future-proofing, the TS-873A will be a worthwhile investment. However, if you feel your current needs are modest and you’re primarily using it for basic file storage without running many applications, the TS-464 is a great choice at a lower price point.
As for QNAP refreshes, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on new releases, but it can be hard to predict when new models will come out. If you need something now and can comfortably afford the TS-873A, I’d say go for it.
