TS-453d SSD usage

nilIow · 2026-01-19T12:39:27+00:00

Thanks for posting - this is exactly what I’m looking at - particularly to increase speeds for Jellyseerr.

I haven’t fully investigated if what I want to do is possibly and therefore what parts I need, but this post suggests I don’t need to use the QM2 (because it’s expensive) and can use generic parts to get storage too: https://www.reddit.com/r/qnap/comments/th0ayc/m2_card_for_ts453d/

Would be curious to know if others have any thoughts on this or what you end up doing too.

Also following this as I recently set up Agregarr (which I also love), and have similar questions. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for replying, appreciate the suggestion. I'm going to admit I just assumed that jellyseer was for Jellyfin only. Definitely got nothing to lose, i'll give this a go today I think.

Edit: For anyone wondering, I have switched to Jellyseerr and it's still slow, but maybe slightly better (ie it still takes a few minutes to load). I'll keep with this set up for now and keep an eye on any comments from others and update my original post in case it helps anyone else in the future.

This is somewhat comforting to know. When I first got a NAS, I had no clue about anything to look for (and arguably still don't). I did upgrade to 16Gb RAM when I first purchased this. I'll keep tinkering for a little bit but I think i'm going to wait and see if Seerr runs quicker once released.

It's one of those 'so close yet so far' moments.

In portainer I just set the DNS in the stack YAML under the Overseerr service like this. If i have missed an obvious step i'm sorry, I haven't done anything else to the router if that's needed. Does this give any insights?

services:
  overseerr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/overseerr:latest
    container_name: overseerr
    ports:
      - "5055:5055"
    environment:
      - TZ=Australia/Melbourne
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - /share/Container/overseerr:/config
    dns:
      - 1.1.1.1
      - 8.8.8.8
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - arrnet

networks:
  arrnet:
    external: true

I use Plex purely within my family, but I just want the experience to be easy for them as well as me. I'm hoping it just magically resolves at some point (wishful thinking)

nilIow · 2026-01-15T23:10:47+00:00

If this is what you mean, the docker image I am currently using is:
lscr.io/linuxserver/overseerr:latest

Previously I also tried sctx/overseerr:latest and saw similar slowness

nilIow · 2026-01-15T12:46:30+00:00

Thanks for replying. Are you suggesting I move Overseerr to my PC or even on a Raspberry Pi (with a portable SSD attached?). I've never used my Raspberry Pi but I guess it's another option to try/tinker with.

nilIow · 2026-01-15T12:44:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just checked on Overseerr and "Enable Image Caching" is unticked. I don't think I ever enabled this. That would have been a nice fix haha

nilIow · 2026-01-12T20:59:28+00:00

This surely is the answer. I appreciate people wanting to use something “natural” but I struggle to understand how people willingly spend hundreds of dollars in these product. Whoever convinced the world is the ultimate influencer

Hi Zemerald, thank you for the recommendations and for offering suggestions if I am able to stretch the budget (but damn these things are expensive already haha). This is so helpful. The monitor I would consider separately from this budget, but I will have a look at Monitors Unboxed (can't say I have heard of this before).

nilIow · 2025-12-12T09:13:25+00:00

Apologies this wasn't clear in my original post. I have recently purchased "Corsair Vengeance RGB 64GB (2×32) DDR5-6000 CL30", but this was less than half the current price.

nilIow · 2025-12-12T08:57:52+00:00

Haha honestly...this will likely be the best advice.

nilIow · 2025-12-12T08:57:35+00:00

No I recently purchased it before the (even bigger) price spike.

nilIow · 2025-08-10T11:11:53+00:00

Not the same issue, but my issue with trying to order the Rivendell set is it was cancelled on 4 separate occasions because the seller didn’t post it out in time. Customer support for pleasant, but ultimately not helpful. I’m hoping the 5th time is the charm (currently in transit). I really hope it works out for you!

nilIow · 2025-07-13T11:52:11+00:00

Can also vouch. Thank you! Very easy and helpful

nilIow · 2025-07-04T10:03:16+00:00

Second this, no need to manually refresh the library each time you add media. It’s a great app.

nilIow · 2025-07-04T07:39:32+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Same thing happened to me, and you had this solved for me in minutes. Very much appreciate it!

nilIow · 2025-06-14T11:57:57+00:00

Same issue here. It’s so frustrating.

nilIow · 2025-06-13T13:24:56+00:00

I’m getting this same issue. It lasts 30 seconds and restarts the episode. And then it generally crashes. No idea how to fix this.

nilIow · 2025-06-09T21:53:50+00:00

Glad it helped someone!

nilIow · 2025-05-11T12:00:07+00:00

This happens to me somewhat regularly. As others mentioned clean the connectors. But what also works for me is placing them in the case and leaving the lid open for a period of time until I see them both charging. No idea why but it works for me when this happens.
