Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS
kylian0087@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoThe hardware has nothing to do with the ZFS version,
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.

I didn’t say the hardware was bad. The software is. But the issue with the hardware at least for some of those systems is the fan controller.
