In this article, we will look at the advantages offered by RAID arrays and compare four IDE RAID controllers from manufacturers such as 3ware, Adaptec, HighPoint and Promise. Today hard drive manufacturers are very tough competition among themselves. In this struggle, they are forced to increase the volume of their hard drives, releasing larger and larger disks. Unfortunately, the volume of media is often counterbalanced by their reliability. Most HDD manufacturers have already reduced the ...

Finding out if your backup and restore systems are working well is much more difficult than just knowing how long the backup process takes. Meeting the baseline requirements is a prerequisite for properly evaluating your system to determine if it is performing well or needs to be redesigned.

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 ...

Synology now has a free solution to back up and restore all of its infrastructure, including virtual machines, desktops, Windows servers, and NAS. We tested all its features, measured the speed and evaluated the pros and cons of this package. In 2010, the founder of Veeam Software, Ratmir Timashev, said in one of his interviews that the main thing for backups is the recovery process, how fast, easy and reliable it is. Today Veeam software solutions have become the de facto standard in large ...

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 ...

This Thecus file server is designed for companies looking for high performance. It seems to be a standard 2U NAS set of 8 SATA disks, an Intel processor, 2 GB of memory and a fault-tolerant power supply. But the highlight of the device is support for 10G network controllers, which will allow the server to successfully survive an upgrade of network infrastructure or fit into a 10G environment at a low cost, because Thecus servers have always been more affordable than competitors. In our ...

This is a 5-disk file server, expandable to 10 disks using an external module. This NAS has a 2-core processor that can achieve speeds of up to 200 MB/s, and the third generation Synology Disk Station Manager with a multitasking web-based window interface allows you to make any settings faster and easier. What is interesting about this NAS for small businesses and what are its fundamental differences from competitors, we will consider in this article. Today, those who choose a NAS for ...
