From that thread, I don't understand how you arrived at the conclusion that Intel is the only one to steer clear from. I would steer clear of QNAP too.
I have an Alder Lake-N system, and it's running fine thus far.
Funny how some home users are so overburdened with largely pointless accumulated trash data that they would rather buy and maintain a NAS over just doing the thing we all teach them in their early years of looking at something and asking basic questions such as:
1) Have I used this in the past year or two? 2) Would I really miss this if it were gone? 3) Could I get it again easily later if I wanted?
Or some data types, like people, are just big. Plus as mentioned for professionals they're going to generate a lot of data and need long-term storage for it.
Call me crazy then cause my NAS server has 108TB of data on it. It's 98 percent TV and movies, though with the rest being mostly music and photos. The total non-media files I have backed up account for only 21 gigs.
It's good to delete stuff, especially if it can be got again. But a lot of it is for the sake of archiving and neatness. The mindset of a librarian. Also, nostalgia. It may be strange, but I have files from when I was a teenager and in high school. Why should I delete those files?
I agree. Desire to embrace the tedium lifestyle I fell for the siren song of Plex Servers, ripped home movie collection and emancipation from streaming services only to have my 3TB Seagate external hard drive die 11 movies in. Kaleidascape systems cost more than the value of my car so that wasn't an option. I realized I have 800 digital movies that Apple stores for me and the only thing I need to do is add a level of redundancy to my home network. With Home LTE being an adjunct to my Fiber I can have additional backup broadband for far cheaper than trying to create a 80 TB NAS and power it 24/7/365. I'll purchase a NAS but it'll be an NVME model that's primarily serving up photos, documents and other light files.
#3 seems to become more interesting these days. Plenty have thrown out their old DVDs only to find that their favorite movies then disappeared from the various internet movie providers, no matter if they then went with a 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
Any hoarding becomes boderline or beyond at a certain point. But so far I've always ejoyed that hording digitally didn't cost nearly the amount of space than what books, CDs or DVDs required. And I can find digital assets, whereas misplaced books (or anything physiclal 'loaned' by your kids) is often as good as lost, even if some of it resurfaces.
And as it turns out my kids quite appreciate that the entire family archives are available to them wherever they are. These days I find them revisiting material they had originally watched a decade ago and I'm hopeful that some of the stuff might get revisited 10 or 20 years from now, because you no longer share folklore tales or books, it's certain video memories you want to pass on from generation to generation and "quality forgetting" vs. "chaotic amnesia" is one of the toughest problems of all in civilizations.
Terramaster alder lake nas looks good. Surprised that Qnap and Synology don't use this CPU for home use. I know terramaster is not as a good brand compared the other 2, but they have gone better.
Unless they've redone how they implemented ZFS I suspect QNAP will end up with a lot of unhappy customers from their new enterprise models. A friend of mine briefly had one a year or two ago. His problem was that instead of updating the rest of their platform to work with a standard ZFS install they bludgeoned ZFS to look like their previous setup. As a result my friend, who was expecting a prebuilt *nix/ZFS system that he could administer via the shell, encountered nothing but sadness and sent the thing back after a few weeks as totally unfit for his needs. Among consumers he's probably a tiny share of their potential market; but if they're selling to enterprise customers they're going to be running into a lot more real sysadmins.

Interesting although it seems software is going to be the deal breaker more than hardware.29a - Saturday, January 13, 2024 - link
Having been burned on a Qnap 251+ with a Celeron J1900, I think I'll steer clear of Intel in my next NAS.https://www.reddit.com/r/qnap/comments/klbogi/warn...

Funny how some users think they know how others use their machines still...Anandtech user for nearly 20 years and PeachNCream has always annoyed me. How are have you not moved on yet.

Data hording is a mental illness indicator.
