In short
Bottom line. Among 95 QNAP home media server NAS models, the data ranks the QNAP TVS-H674 first. It posts our home media server fit index 100/100, performance percentile 83.6, and its boost clock of 4.4 GHz and base RAM of 32 GB are the best of the 5 picks. Next come the QNAP TVS-675 (No. 2) and the QNAP TVS-H474 (No. 3).
Specotomy's home media server score weighs drive bays, HDMI output, an x86 CPU and memory, and deducts points for rackmount designs, operating draw above 80 W and weight above 10 kg. All five models below score 100, so they are ordered by in-category performance percentile. The TVS-H674 leads at the 85.1 percentile with a six-core Intel Core i5-12400 boosting to 4.4 GHz, 32 GB of RAM (64 GB maximum) and six bays. The six-bay TVS-675 runs an eight-core Zhaoxin KX-U6580 at 60.8 W, and the four-bay TVS-H474 pairs a 4.3 GHz i3-12100 with a 78.6 W draw. Only the TVS-682T and TVS-882ST3 have built-in 10GbE. The TVS-682T adds six LAN ports but uses a two-core i3-7100 and is the largest and heaviest here at 16.68 L and 7.7 kg. The TVS-882ST3 has the most bays, eight, and the lowest draw, weight and volume at 43.4 W, 3.65 kg and 7.49 L, though it caps memory at 32 GB and lacks M.2 slots.
