- Can I add 10GbE to the TS-473A?
- Yes. One of its two PCIe slots accepts a 10GbE network card, and the other can hold an M.2 NVMe cache card or a graphics card.
- How much RAM can the TS-473A take?
- It ships with 8 GB and supports up to 64 GB across two SO-DIMM slots, so you can upgrade for virtualization or heavy caching.
- Does it support Plex hardware transcoding?
- Only if you add a compatible graphics card in a PCIe slot. The Ryzen V1500B has no integrated GPU, so CPU transcoding is limited.
- What drives fit in the TS-473A?
- Four 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA drives. Drives and caddies are sold separately, so budget for both.
- Is the TS-473A good for a home office?
- Yes, if you need shared storage and room to grow. For simple backups, a cheaper two-bay or ARM-based NAS is enough.
