A simple inexpensive NAS that has Plex, Owncloud, Nextcloud services, supports Docker, cloud management and its own backup system for Windows and Linux clients. It can work absolutely silently by turning off its fan. Terra Master is a relatively new brand in the market of data storage systems for home and small businesses. The company started its journey in 2014, and unlike most of its rivals, it did not focus only on NAS, but immediately offered models and DAS families with a Thunderbolt ...

This model is the only NAS of its kind that achieves Active-Passive fault tolerance not only for file protocols, but also for embedded software, including video surveillance, virtualization server, backup and containers . The ink hasn't dried yet in our review of the dual-controller iSCSI storage we are already testing Synology a logical continuation of the two-controller series of storage systems from the same manufacturer: a full-fledged NAS, made according to the fault-tolerant Active- ...

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 ...

QNAP has got very interesting monstrous NAS-s for working with large amounts of data. The storage system under consideration today with a head unit for 24 3.5-inch hard drives makes it possible to pack 384 TB of data into one system and do without expansion shelves at all, which may be quite enough for the needs of a small enterprise. QNAP has got very interesting monstrous NAS-s for working with large amounts of data. The model under review with the long name TS-2483XU-RP is a data storage ...

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 ...

This file server will be of interest to large companies. It is assembled on the basis of a fast Intel Celeron M processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz, it has support for a reliable file system ZFS, two network ports with aggregation, the ability to stack and connect via USB to a computer. But the most interesting thing is dynamic iSCSI partitioning, which will save space for iSCSI connections. We have already covered Thecus file servers. This company is interesting for its non-standard ...

5-disk file server for small offices. It is built on an Intel Atom D525 processor, which achieves excellent performance in RAID 5 and RAID 6. We will also test this NAS in real applications to see how quickly it is backed up or how quickly the antivirus checks its contents. p> Such file servers appear more often than others in reviews on our website, precisely because such NASs are most in demand by small companies, in cases where the customer wants to purchase one server for storing data ...

The issue of organizing data storage in small and medium-sized businesses often causes headaches. How many issues need to be resolved, how many requests need to be satisfied at the same time, and at the same time the system must work in 24x7 mode with minimal support from IT specialists. There are many solutions, and one of them is a 1U solution for four format disks - ASUSTOR AS-604RD. The issue of organizing data storage in small and medium businesses often causes headaches. How many ...

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 ...
