Upgrading from TS-253B

[Enquiries]

I was literally looking to upgrade since 10 this morning (saw ur new 23/24 review few hrs later)... mind reader. Can you give a recommendation. Upgrading from TS-253B 8gb ram, maybe want 4 bay? and use Plex Pass and CCTV. Have a PI4 home assistant w/ cameras (wanting storage). Wanted to hopefully future proof for a few years, max out NAS specs. QNAP is first NAS, bought based on ur review years ago.. Thanks and cheers!

Hey there! It's fantastic to connect with a long-time NAS enthusiast like yourself! Considering your upgrade from the TS-253B, I'd recommend checking out the QNAP TS-464. This 4-bay NAS is a solid replacement, offering a significant performance boost with its AMD processor. It aligns perfectly with your Plex Pass and CCTV needs, ensuring a smooth multimedia experience. With 8GB of RAM (expandable), it's poised for multitasking and future-proofing. The PCIe slot opens doors for potential upgrades, and accommodating your two 8TB drives won't be an issue. It falls comfortably within your budget, making it a worthy successor to your first QNAP NAS. Cheers to expanding your NAS journey!
