QNAP TS869 Pro 8 Bay

[jonesc]

Hi

 

Love the look of Unraid interested in a purchase but see a mixed bag of some saying they have had it working on this model with USB

https://www.qnap.com/en-uk/product/ts-869 pro/specs/hardware

 

Website says it needs 4GB RAM to use Unraid - my model has been upgraded to 3GB is this likely to work?

 

Will be running shares, and possible ISCSI shares (Wont be using the virtualisation/dockers)

 

Want to use an OS where I could potentially move the hard drives to a different NAS running Unraid in the future and dont want to be locked into QTS file system anymore.

 

Thanks for any input.

Hi

 

I have a test QNAP for testing, its not setup correctly on the QNAP as I moved the flash to a DELL test server so the disks dont match so the array is not started. But its does boot and run in 2Gb. Create a trial usb and boot. This is my hardware.

Also I have a plugin to support LCDs on qnap.

I have unraid running on a TS-869 Pro with 3GB of ram. I don't remember it being hard to setup (I did it about a year ago), but don't get your hopes up regarding performance. I'm only using it for backing up my main unraid server.
