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 ...

Aquantia network chips are increasingly being distributed as an expensive home or low-cost business solution for 10-Gigabit networks. We compared the company's youngest chip with Intel's flagship network card when working with file operations, and the results were amazing. 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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

With this storage system, you can create a 2-node Failover Virtualization Cluster in one box. This model is designed for video surveillance, for installations on hundreds of IP cameras, for storing hundreds of terabytes of data and for analyzing video recordings. We tested it using the Macroscop software. Video surveillance is one of the main driving forces in the storage market. The decline in the cost of IP cameras has led to the fact that today they are installed in hundreds, often next ...

If in 2017 we backed up ourselves to the cloud, then starting from 2018 we back up the cloud to ourselves to protect our calendars, mail and contacts from blocking any messengers, disconnecting accounts and others misfortunes. Synology has a great tool for backing up Google and Microsoft services, which we'll test. Since we use such business-friendly products as Office 365, Google Drive and Calendar, Gmail and Shared Folders in G-Suite, we need to make sure that this data is safe. The ...

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 ...
