    The NAS market at the start of 2023 has really been shaking things up, with moves by all the top tier brands attacking the home and prosumer tier of private server buyers with very different wares on offer! Whilst Synology have been shifting the home/business point of a number of their popular diskstation devices, QNAP has been doubling down on their hardware choices at that same tier and either upgrading what works or swapping out what doesn’t The QNAP TS-262 NAS is designed to be a more affordable Intel-powered alternative to the prosumer ad fully featured TS-264, that still keeps the elements of prosumer hardware that continue to draw the eye of PC-builders and more tech versed buyers, who nonetheless still find the appeal of a turnkey pre-built solution convenient. Arriving in a 2-Bay and 4-Bay version, the QNAP TS-x62 series hopes to be a more confident entry point for first-time NAS buyers and SMB’s looking to move away from 3rd party cloud, but is this a notable improvement over the now 3 years old TS-251D that it serves to replace? It’s price tag of $439 / £399 / €439 (tax and shipping where you are will likely reflect this price in your region) is possibly going to place it outside of the scope of Value/ARM NAS buyers, but here are the Highlights of the QNAP TS-262 NAS

    You are the best salesman for NAS in general. No matter what the viewer prefers in a brand you always cover the good and the less than good parts of all systems. I only wish I had the money to buy each one. Thanks for all your videos.

    I just bought one of these recently for a pretty good price. I wasn't even looking for another NAS 😂. I bought a TS-453D a few years back to replace an older TS-453 Pro that has the dreaded J4025 chip issues and while it still works, I wasn't going to take the chance it takes a dump when you least expect it. That was fully populated with 4x4TB NAS drives and has been sitting there doing sweet FA.
    While I'm generally happy with the TS-453D and it works fairly well, I've got 4 other drive sitting there doing bugger all. What caught my eye (even though the TS-462 only has a dual core CPU) was the two NVMEs and upgradable to 16GB. You're right about the 2GB RAM included - it's not enough. But I assume they include it so you know what size proper RAM to buy 😂🤣. I just bought 2x8GB Kingston's (which only added about $50 AU), chucked em in (which was a little tight in that front opening) and no worries. I also chucked in a 500GB NVME SSD (about $50 AU) in one of the slots to run apps and some cache (which you have to specify after making a storage pool). Otherwise it's either/or SSD cache / storage pool - not both.
    I did notice they had some good features with QTS like auto disabling the Admin account now after you create a user account (with admin privilege). When I set up the 453D, I was getting smashed with random attempted logins from about 20min into set up. And you can't set up using the HDMI output as a connected keyboard won't work (except TABs). You have to do it from the web UI and then install HD station.
    And BTW - Give Qsync Central a miss. I've had nothing but issues with it missing files, deleting files it shouldn't and making a mess of the local drive. Much better just installing something like FreeFileSync on your device (you can install it on just about any platform - Windows, Mac, Linux) and its fast with QNAP (especially if you have SFTP enabled).

    Just replaced my old Zyxel 326 with a TS462/4G and very happy with it! I wanted a direct connection to my video editing PC, so I added an Axagon 2.5GbE PCIE card, which works perfectly so far. The backplate had to be changed to fit in, so be aware, it's not possible to use as-is.

    @cristianbacuiane Před 11 měsíci

    Hey man! I just got myself a TS-462 and I want to add an SSD to it just for the OS and config. What bothers me is that there's a white connector on the board, which the Qnap documentation (or anywhere on the Internet for that matter) does not say what's it for. It's driving me nuts! Do you know if it's a fan power connector (although it does not look like one that you might have on a regular PC motherboard), Serial or anything else. Can you tell me what it's used for? Thanks in advance!

    How this Qnap TS-462 nas works with bigger hd? I'm thinking to buy it and mount some seagate exos 18tb.. they are not on compatibility tables but you can find in it the x22 drives. Do you have an hint? I was thinking about a synology DS-423+ but their compatibility list with bigger drives is empty :(

    Assuming the missing M.2 heatsinks are intentional?
    As these have not been available either via the QNAP EU Store for quite some time now. (several months)
    Possibly a supplier-issue perhaps?

    • @InspectorGadget2014
      @InspectorGadget2014 Před rokem

      Hmm, QNAP is spreading a wee bit thin indeed, with only 1x LAN port and 2GB RAM.

    • @InspectorGadget2014
      @InspectorGadget2014 Před rokem

      Indeed. QNAP could be much more forthcoming with regards to pre-install security. (default apps etc).
      QFirewall works but to find about triggered events (the Why), you will need to run the capture to find out more, a bit counterproductive IMHO. Indeed not really user-friendly, as if an afterthought application.

      @@nascompareshello, I was wondering if you could get the furecuda 530 and use the elcgear heatsink at the same time? I was thinking of getting both, because it seems like the heatsink is like the cover of the elcgear would be a brgger cover instead of the M.2 original cover.
      And then I plan to combine this with the dbrand dark plates to have the ultimate cooler ps5. Perhaps you could run a test? Or at least tell me I'm in the ball park with this hypothesis?!
      BTW, I love your content for the ps5, it was so insightful!
