Hello,

I have a Qnap TS-451 that I bought probably 10 years ago. I never use it because it’s noisy that I ended unplugging. Also it’s not that it’s very loud but hearing it make me think about electricity bills and that’s another level of annoyance.

Long story short the question is: should I invest in a new NAS that is quiet (suggestions?) , or should I go for an enclosure (eg:Terramaster: https://amzn.eu/d/g90RWXx) ? Or something else?

(I currently need 4-8TB of backup)

Thx
