RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the market. The abundance of drives and software features of RAID/HBA make you approach this choice as responsibly as possible, otherwise you may lose data. RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the ...

The most difficult thing is not even to pick up packages to replace Synology services with free ones, but to support their work, promptly responding to glitches and updates. This is not an easy, but doable task that can be completed in a few weeks. Installing applications, configuring services Having planned the storage, I proceed to installing the software. Docker is already installed, and now I will install MergerFS and SnapRAID file system support for the archived data array. For example ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this article, we will look at modern technologies that QNAP uses for its top NAS-s. These technologies provide flexibility in configuring LUNs, volumes and folders, creating and administering iSCSI volumes, as well as managing disk shelves and scaling. Simply put, here's a look at how NAS becomes an enterprise storage system. Starting with home and small office products, QNAP has gradually expanded its lineup to offer enterprise-grade storage systems that flexibly scale with expansion ...

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 ...

In the infrastructure of any modern enterprise, a special place should be given to data storage and backup systems. In case of failure, human error or for maintaining archives, but the data must be reliably protected from loss, prying eyes or natural disaster. In this article, we will explain what hardware is used to copy data in different cases. The active development of information technologies, which began at the very beginning of the 21st century and does not plan to stop in the coming ...
