So have set up the QNAP TS-453BT3 with 4 x Ironwolf 4 TB's and its great so far. Raid 5 over the 4 drives and will get an M.2 ssd in there soon. Im running thunderbolt to it direct from a 2019 iMac that I've beefed up. Im not that tech savy and its been pretty easy to set up so far. Will start tinkering with Cloud back up in the next few days once Ive migrated my data/files across completely. Was good a chance to do a purge.
Only annoying bit so far has been its has audio notifications when it connects, scared the shit out of me at first but can turn it off and down easy enough.
Still tinkering but loving it so far.
- you can run thunderbolt direct to a NAS? I thought it had to me via ethernet.Gnash

- Yeah thats Why I went with the QNAP. Has 2 thunderbolt ports on he front.thumb_screws
- is it also connected to your router via ethernet for network access? it can do both at the same time?Gnash
- damn, that's handy. I didn't know a NAS could do that.Gnash
- Yep connected the router at the same time. Have already tested the remote and worked from it.thumb_screws
- My iMac is connected to it via thunderbolt and going the test the laptop connecting to it via the other thunderbolt at the same same time.thumb_screws
- that's a big advantage over the synology. was it complicated to set up? I'm not very savvy about this stuffGnash
- Nah not at all, the links you sent to NASCompares video channel helped so much in set up.thumb_screws
