We won’t buy QNAP ever again, unless they revolutionize their development process.
We got tired of the loads of critical security bugs every couple of days. The situation is as extreme and unsatisfying as with Cisco gear.

For people who have a specific need, which is not storing large amount of data. Probably quit interesting for “content” people or photographers. Could be interesting to see the speed via TB, especially via a 10m long active cable.

At this device’s price point, not having a decent PCIe switch with x4 to each SSD is crazy

I saw the announcement for this a while back and was waiting for it to be released and thought this would be wonderful for me…. and I love enabling newer form factor (E1.S) but crippling the drive performance with only a x1 connection… such potential otherwise… shoot… oh well, definite hard pass with such a PCIe config.

Where are the Thunderbolt versus 10 gigabit Ethernet benchmarks?

If you’ve read the comments Patrick’s made (I’m assuming he’s posting on the ServeTheHome YouTube account) it’s crazy. It isn’t about building a NAS that doesn’t have hot swap but is faster and cheaper. It isn’t about building a NAS that is big fast and cheap. It isn’t about even just having a NAS.

Thunderbolt means you hook a Mac directly up to this and you’ve got a NAS and DAS in one that’s small, ez to configure, and fast enough. In that it’s cheaper and more redundant than getting Apple internal storage if you’re buying a Mac Studio.

People suggesting to get EOL scrapped old corporate PCs off ebay and cobble something together in competition to this … are *really* not the target market.
As for talk of Apple CPUs … whatever.
@Jay. Seriously. If you value those images and you’re not sure what you are doing, buy something off the shelf.
And backup. Twice.
The people here are suggesting solutions that will take you time to put together and require constant maintenance and tweaking. And still won’t do that this does 5 minutes after powering up.
