It is one of the fastest NAS devices to go on sale today. Promised performance - up to 500K IOPS in 4K Random Read, minimum power consumption like two light bulbs, horizontal and vertical scalability, including available expansion components. We ...

No matter how beautiful IOPS the manufacturers promise us, no matter what synthetic tests show, the real speed of a typical virtual machine depends on how your server is configured and how the application itself works. Let's explore the impact of different types of caching on Synology NAS. Toshiba, a major manufacturer of flash drives and hard drives, forecasts only 10% of corporate data will be stored on SSDs in the year, although it seems that all storage manufacturers have forgotten ...

Well-known design, well-known interface, huge functionality, not oversaturated with possibilities and traditional pricing policy - slightly more expensive than analogs. Some things have not changed in QNAP products from the very first generation to this day, but this does not affect their popularity. Today we will take a look at a somewhat new, somewhat conservative, but very powerful NAS for 8 disks, built on Intel Atom 2.13 GHz and think about the reasons for the popularity of QNAP networking ...

An NAS for small businesses with big ambitions. Rackmount, 12 hard drive bays, 2 power supplies and expansion cards. The latter actually means the ability to work in 10G networks, which in turn gives performance at the level of 1 gigabyte per second. We tested this NAS in a 10G environment and saw with our own eyes that the highest performance is now available on inexpensive storage systems over twisted pair cables without expensive optics. It would seem that the manufacturers of NAS-s for ...

The amount of data stored in the world not only continues to grow, but is growing faster than predicted. It was expected that the share of data stored on flash and solid state drives would increase, while the amount of data stored on hard drives and tape would decrease. However, today it is clear that all three technologies continue to evolve simply because they require a lot of storage capacities. Where are we going to store this much data? Thanks to engineers and programmers, the capacity ...
