- Is the TS-664 good for Plex?
- Yes. The Intel Celeron N5095 supports hardware transcoding, and the HDMI port allows direct playback. It handles 1080p and light 4K transcoding well.
- Can I add a 10GbE card?
- Yes. The PCIe slot accepts a compatible network card, and the two 2.5GbE ports can be aggregated. This is one of its main advantages over rivals.
- How much RAM can it take?
- It ships with 8 GB and supports up to 16 GB via two SO-DIMM slots. Upgrading helps if you run containers or virtual machines.
- Does it come with drives?
- No. The TS-664 is sold as a diskless enclosure, so you supply your own 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA drives.
- Is it better than a Synology six-bay?
- It offers more hardware per dollar, including 2.5GbE and PCIe expansion. Synology counters with a more polished software ecosystem.
