Hello all here, I want to get a new NAS Server which should accomplish the following: 1. more than 750MB/s ( better 1GB/s ) data throughput 2. more than 20TB of dataspace 3. thus Thunderbolt and/or 10Git ethernet ( -> is there a 10gbit ethernet-thunderbolt "converter"? ) Devices which come near this range would be: Something like the TS-EC879U-RP by QNAP or Promise Pegasus R6 ( ok not exactly a Nas ) So my Questions: Does anyone know other available devices which suffice the above criteria? Has anyone experience in building such a machine himself or does know a place to get information about it? Thank you all. Regards, P
Nice tall order there. I suggest going to SmallNETBuilder site. They have all sorts of information there concerning NAS, test and results and other items of interest (routers etc.) I have used different NAS solutions and you will find that each maker has its fanboys. Presently I only have two NAS running - one QNAP and one I built that uses hardware RAID (card) and runs under Linux.
750MB/s aggregate bandwidth or to each NAS client? (If the latter, how many?) Is there a reason for it to be NAS (and not DAS)?
