Synology UC3200 Review: affordable dual-controller iSCSI storage
First dual-controller storage from Synology, marketed as iSCSI storage for virtualization hosts. We will test how quickly it switches between controllers and how it recovers back.
Perhaps since Synology released its first rackmount NAS, at all press conferences the company has been asked when will they release a 2-controller solution? The manufacturer himself explained for a long time that the company has a High Availability solution for organizing NAS into a cluster, that in the modern ...
Aquantia AQtion AQC107 vs Intel X550-T2 - comparing 10G interfaces in iSCSI and CIFS file operations

The young company Aquantia was not known to anyone 2-3 years ago, and today its network controllers have become a passport to the world of 10-Gigabit networks for thousands of gamers around the world. This brand entered ...
Huawei OceanStor 2200 V3 review - entry-level block virtualization storage
This SAN storage system has many features that make it worth paying attention to. First of all, this is the RAID 2.0+ technology, thanks to which in our testing, RAID 5 survived a fall of 6 drives! In addition, this is an extended work with snapshots, because each of them can be mounted as a separate LUN, automatic LUN reduction and much more.
Huawei storage systems are relatively new, and today the Chinese manufacturer successfully competes with brands such as Dell/EMC, Netapp and HPE. ...
QNAP ES1640dc v2 review - testing a dual-controller NAS with inline deduplication
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.

QNAP TS-EC1279U-RP Storage Testing with 10 GbE 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 ...
