That's alotta files being served up at once.
Evan Gutierrez
Is an AMD Athlon 5350 enough for a home NAS?
Isaac Roberts
A fucking toaster is enough for a home NAS
Brayden Long
>moar coars to push anime, bluray rips and furporn around my home network
Logan Taylor
These are prosumer/SMB NASes though, there's cheaper home stuff.
Jason Lopez
Sneak one of these into a tier 1 datacenter and plug it into the main switch and you've got the RIAA/MPAA worst nightmare seedbox right there.
Asher Robinson
Ya. It's even enough for a not entirely modest Gentoo media desktop / server combo. Not ideal, but easy enough.

That's a lot of concurrent connections.
Gabriel Harris
Is it bad that I want that?
Owen Morales
why would you need a good CPU and above 8 GB ram for NAS? im honestly curious, how does that affect anything? All you do is move files in and out.
Robert Gonzalez
Not if you're encoding video on the fly.
Joshua Taylor
No, not really.
This is not a NAS for private, this is for SMB, NAS here are expected do transcoding, handle a lot of connections and handle VMs
You're not doing that on a damn atom

These things aren't jokes, this will probably cost well over $1300 without any HDDs
Jordan Rodriguez
Didn't qnap increases prices across the board because of increase in manufacturing costs ?
I have no idea where QNAP spends all the money, the CPUs they use on the low-mid range stuff are all about $100 or less.
The 453B uses a cpu that intel lists at $107, but the 453B sells for $700+
Virtual machines, but more commonly these days is Plex - which usually means trancoding videos on the fly.
I too was thinking that ryzen would be great for a NAS system, but I was thinking of something in the budget range, since most NAS under 800 bucks are celerons/atoms or worse some ARM based cpus.
Even in the $1000 range you still get i3 intel cpus in qnap systems.
Alexander Rodriguez
I can imagine a small to mid size business needing one of these.
Lincoln Thompson
There's cheaper versions.
Colton Harris
These premium products are just what AMD needs.
Liam Rivera
I want lower priced nas.
Ryan Adams
Build one your damn self then, all these prebuilt NAS units are standard x86 hardware in a fancy case and some fancy software.
You can build a nice NAS under $300 (without the drives) It might not be as small or you may not get hard drive hot-swap but it would be decent enough for almost everything.
