OMV took me some time to learn and setup, but I love the thing. I wish it had a file manager with root access thoigh. Learned to do without though, and with Docker really no need.
Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS

I’m with you here. I have put qnaps in dozens of smb client solutions and I have only ever had problems with one of them. I don’t stan qnap - truenas all the way. But their offerings are not nearly as bad as this thread seems to imply.

Please dont… I got a qnap TS-H886 and it is the worst NAS I have used.
The so called ZFS that it is using is a very very old fork of openZFS that does not follow any standards. The inside is a complete mess.

The hardware has nothing to do with the ZFS version, like I said, if you are unhappy with it, change OS. Mine runs silent and got 0 issues with ZFS, it is a TS-464.

Yeah but the QuTS OS of QNAP does. It is not as straight forward to install a other OS on the thing. Specially a NAS OS like TrueNAS scale. having to enable dev mode on truenas and compile a custom driver for the fans to work is not as straight forward for most people. it is not just the ZFS implementation that’s bad also their whole OS it self is.

I literally don’t understand your issue with QNAP hardware, it sounds like your issue is TrueNAS, the only thing I did to change the OS from QuTS to OMV was install an NVME driver and select an USB drive with new OS at the boot menu. No drivers, no dev mode, no nothing. The cheapest option at TrueNAS is +1100$, I’m not paying that when my minimum requirements were a low TDP CPU with HW encoding and a chasis with 4 disks.
