I have a 3 bay QNAP at the moment with 3 2tb drives running raid 5. I want to expand up to 4 drives and want to replace the really slow TS351 I have (QTS runs like a dog on this even with 16gb memory). I want to expand to a 4 bay nas but have nto got a lot of money to do it with. I am opent to ideas to perhaps NAS's which are a little older or available second hand that are 4 bay.. Ultimatly I would go for something like a TS-462/4 but costs are too high really. I hate terramaster with a passion as I had a 2 bay one of those and it was forever screwing up when an update was applied and you needed a degree in Linux to fix it or loose or your data. open to ideas to be honest for a cost effective solution. I do have an matx motherboard and intel i5-6500 on it that I could use for a server but I think I would struggle with the set up of a something like trunas for example and it's size would just be prohibative too...
