Hi everyone, just wanted to make sure this setup would be correct to ensure im getting the fastest possible transfer speeds from my desktop to my NAS. The vast majority of my transfers come from this PC so

Current setup: DS220+, everything is just connected to the switch since the DS220+ only has 1GbE ports anyways.

New Setup: DXP4800 Plus, PC connected directly to the NAS via 10GbE card to the NAS 10GbE port. I would also connect the switch to the 2.5GbE ports on both the PC and the NAS so they both still have their internet connection. I already own everything in the diagram except the 10GbE card for the PC.

1. Would this setup work as im expecting?

2. Is this the best way to do it or would it be better to just get a switch that has 10GbE ports? (that would still require me buying the 10GbE card for the PC)

3. Would this maintain the ability for other devices to access the NAS via the network as it normally does?

Every time I open my active listings page on the app it pops up these two things. Is there any way to stop it from happening?

If I tap review on the review older listings one it tells me the don’t have any listings older than a month so I don’t know why it keeps saying it.

As for the relist items one it just shows me a bunch of items that I already marked as sold through marketplace and reviewed the buyers. Why would I want to realist items I already sold? I don’t know if it would stop if I deleted all the old sold listings but there’s are hundreds of them so that would be a pain to have to go through and delete them all

Just looking for a very simple NAS setup for my Mom. It will pretty much only be used for file/photo storage. It seems like this option would fit what im looking for and I have to opportunity to pick one up for a very good price. I have never used QNAP products before so I just want to make sure im not missing anything.

Planned setup is 2 2TB drives set up in raid 1. Will be more than enough space for her and she wants the maximum file protection so I figured having the drives mirrored for her is the best bet. She also has everything backed up to a separate external ssd.

I have talked to her multiple times about cloud storage options but she is fully against it no matter how secure I tell her it is. I just want her to have this as another backup option so everything isnt in one spot.

Im looking to move to a 4 bay from my DS220+. The DS425+ is $415 to buy brand new right now. I was looking for some potentially cheaper used options but both the 920+ and the 423+ are more expensive used than the 425 is new. I cant find a 920 under $500 and the 423+ seems basically impossible to find anywhere.

Is there something im missing about the 425+ that makes it that much worse than its predecessors? Both the older options have the same processor but both lack 2.5GbE. I know there was the initial problem with the hard drive restrictions that have since been rolled back.

I assume there has to be some other drawbacks to the new one to be causing this but when I try and research all I find is people talking about the proprietary hard drive issue which is outdated.

Edit: I found a thread discussing the removal of hardware transcoding on the 25 models. I guess this is probably the main issue. I dont really use transcoding right now but would like to keep it as an option in the future. I guess my best option is paying up for a 920+ then? Or should I just be looking into other brands?
