If i may ask, few things that come in mind, - What are the required NAS requirements in terms of availability, uptime, hardware redundancy etc ? - What is the budget ? - What is the workload you would like to host on the procured NAS ? SMB/CIFS, NFS, S3, structured or unstructured data ? - What other services you would like to host on the NAS device (Docker, Office, email, backup etc) ? - Are the above services critical for your bussiness needs ? Avoid DIY (Thats for non bussiness critical purposes). Dont just buy on features. Stick with the one that provides the best support, things CAN and WILL go wrong at some point ! You need to have a proper support organization structured to backup your business. Both Synology and QNAP don't offer 2 or 4 hours response time, spare part availability etc and i can guarantee that both will not engage fully to solve your issue. On the other hand, both are the titans of home to small/medium size business NAS devices. Syno is lacking some features that QNAP has BUT with Syno i've never lost data and I must say its rather difficult to do so, whereas with QNAP i've read and had some very dissapointing experiences. So if I were to prioritize my bussiness needs : 1st. Customer support with onsite presence and spare part availability 2nd. Design a backup solution in parallel with your NAS needs. 3rd. All other mentioned features I hope this helps a bit. And a small comment on " And of course, we need a solid backup system (RAID) 'cause those files are super important for our clients." RAID should NEVER be considered a backup. Its just a level of hardware failure redundancy and thats all. Plan for a proper offsite/offline backup solution as well. Backup to tape or S3, cloud or on premices targets. Ransomware and/or human mistakes can lead to loss of primary hosted data, you should be prepared for that possibility.

Testers , PM

Polling for modules request. Which modules would you like to be included ?

I would start with the RAM upgrade. Then use a new USB stick for the new loader and use the last known working settings from your 3615 loader (Sataportmap etc) and create a new loader. Also can you PM me the output of the command dmidecode ?

I will try x72 hero. x88 (1288) hero at least requires licence.

It would help i you could get the model.conf file that you've used, if of course you still have it

QuTS Hero is still an issue, the rest has been resolved more or less

Is this the image I’ve translated and created the automatic model.conf generation ? It still needs some work but I’ll release an alpha release soon. Afaik it looks that QuTS hero requires licence. It needs a lot of reverse engineering and I’m not that skilled. I’ll be calling soon for few physical system testers.

It’s about time to give some love to the Qnap community. Do we have any targeted models you would like to focus ? Eg TS-1655, TS-1273 etc

Use the html builder

Which loader are you using ? You can try DVA1622, with TCPR

You dont need redpill-load anymore, that is the most time consuming process.

The updates are handles by tcrpfriend so in tcrpfriend repo, i will try to update the info.

Yes you can, i have two of them.

I have seen no issues migrating from one model to another.
