- Does the TS-632X come with hard drives?
- No. It is sold as a bare chassis, so you add your own 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives. Budget for six drives if you plan to fill every bay.
- How fast is the networking?
- It has two 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports. You need a 10GbE switch or direct-attached adapter to use the faster ports.
- Can I upgrade the RAM?
- Yes. The 4GB base memory can be expanded with a compatible SO-DIMM, which most owners recommend for containers or virtual machines.
- What RAID levels does it support?
- It supports JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 across its six bays. RAID 5 or 6 is the usual choice for balancing capacity and redundancy.
- Is it good for media streaming?
- Yes. The HDMI output and hardware transcoding make it usable as a media server, and the fast networking helps with multiple streams.

- The QNAP offers faster built-in networking and a PCIe slot, while Synology generally wins on software polish and app selection.
