Lockerstor 4 vs Lockerstor 8
Hi I’m wondering if you could give me a comparison if the Lockerstor 4 vs Lockerstor 8
In short, one is a 4-bay multimedia friendly NAS and the other is 8-bay file storage oriented NAS model. More mean more storage and speed so it comes with a 10GbE connection so that more users can get better data transfer speeds. Or you can use all of this available speed for things like video editing and more.
I hope this helps.
