hi, I am now on my 3rd QNAP, from a 2-bay, to a TS-453A and now a TS-464, kindly reccomended by your good selves. I work from home so use it for everything, backing up my work files on the fly, Roon server, download server, and Plex. I have 3x 14Tb drives in RAID 5, 2x 2Tb SSD's running apps, and a spare 1Tb SSD on expansion card for the Roon database.
I upgraded to QUTS Hero believing it would speed things up, but the interface is EXTREMELY slow. I know I am asking a lot of it, but it is unusable at times. I tried to use the SSD's as a cache but read it was pointless, I upgraded to 32Gb of RAM, but that's not made much difference, and I'm now just thinking the processor isn't up to it.
My TS-453A is an older model, but I don't think it was this bad, so I am just asking for some advice - should I cut my losses and go for a bigger QNAP, or an Asustor AS6804T, or stick with it and figure out the problem? I just don't think it is up to the job.
I'd really appreciate your help. thanks
