Time for the biggest NAS comparison yet. Thunderbolt 2 NAS 2015 vs Thunderbolt 2 NAS 2016
What about Connections? How do the TVS-1282T and TVS-871T Compare?
It’s pretty clear that you get more for your money in terms of connectivity with the QNAP TVS-1282T. This doesn’t even include those additional SSD Bays on the front of the 1282T from QNAP. It is thanks to these that you can utilize the tiered storage options. Alongside the usual HDD installation in this NAS server, you are able to install upto 4 2.5″ SSD drives for faster file access options (which you can arrange the QNAP to do automatically) and also 2x m.2 SSD bays (inside the unit) for additional SSD cache. This 3 layer storage gives you the ability to semi-autonomously devide all your files into different areas of the NAS based on their popularity and use. The result is that not only will you have both speedy 10 Gigabit network attached storage access for complex file access like Virtual machines and ISCSI, but also additional speed to the already blisteringly fast 20GB/s transmission speed of Thunderbolt 2.
About Usage, How safe is my data on the TVS-1282T and TVS-871T?
With 8 bay unit you are having additional advantages. You can choose from number of RAID solutions to set up. There could be RAID that saves your data even if one of the drives fail so you can still recover your data. This would be slightly more safe option to keep your data. Besides you can still access your documents or media files over your private network or even internet. These days security is a big deal and with he public becoming increasingly aware of cyber crime, keeping your data in the safest and most encrypted fashion is paramount! Both units arrive with AES-NI security options, alongside the standard protection provided by network protocols in any home or business. Ultimately you will find your data is remarkably safe in either of these units and no real advantage can be given. Though I do think it worth mentioning that tiered storage option on the TVS-1282T can be setup to provide an additional backup storage option for key files in the event of HDD failure – however this more come under the umbrella of redundancy than security.
