QNAP 2bay NAS which one i must choose ?

[em_lab]

hi can anyone advice me.. i´m trying to buy a Qnap NAS but i cant find any difference between this three options

TS 251+ (the black one)

TS 251D  (rounded corners)

TS 231P3 (straight corners)

 

here is the comparison i can´t understand https://www.qnap.com/en/product/compare?products=ts-231p3%2Cts-251%2B%2Cts-251d&ref=product_overview

 

basically i search for a good 2bay NAS

i need to access to my files from any where,

but i need a good response from the NAS..

i´m doing 3d stuff and only one project can handle 8Gb 

 

also which amount of RAM do you recommend ?

 

thanks for your time

How much performance do you need?

 

How to you plan to setup wan access to your files?

 

For basica file copying, the cheapest one will work fine.

i need to transfer 8Gb of files quickly.. for exemple

 

How to you plan to setup wan access to your files?

via an standard internet box (router) at home

What do you mean by quickly, These should copy files in windows explorer at around gigabit

 

How do you want to seutp wan file sharing? Normally  you use difference protocols for wan and lan due to the increased latency and security concerns

sorry i would like to say that i´ll need to transfer those files over the internet the fastest way possible from the NAS...

that´s one requirement...

 

besides if you can point me which are the difference between those three models i´ll appreciate .... thanks

What speeds are you paying for from your ISP, that will likely be the limit.

 

That comparison shows the differences pretty well, your paying for a faster cpu and more ram moslty. For a basic nas it won't matter, but its nice for running other apps on it aswell. One is arm, which can have its limits also, why im asking what protocols your using.
