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 ...

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 ...

Active-Active fault-tolerant architecture and ZFS file system support puts this NAS on a par with NetAPP, Dell / EMC and HPE solutions. Total iSCSI throughput is 120 Gbps, on-the-fly deduplication saves space by tens of times when hosting virtual machines - we tested all these features, including switching times and latencies when one of the controllers fails. In our previous review  QNAP TDS-16489U , which can be used both as a computational node and as a virtualization tool with support ...

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 ...

Today we are reviewing one of the most powerful desktop 6-disk NASs available on the market. It has a modern Core i3 processor, but with passive cooling. This NAS supports the installation of expansion cards, which means that in the future you can install a 10 Gigabit LAN controller in it. If the storage capacity is no longer enough for you, you can connect an expansion shelf, reaching 84 TB, and this volume is typical for more expensive devices. When marketers talk about the applicability ...
