Portable NAS advice

Last updated on 14 Nov 2018 📧 Subscribe

Portable NAS advice. I am looking for a light, portable NAS – think something like Drobo mini, but available and as a NAS, ethernet connectivity.
My use case is as the backing storage for a Software Defined Data Centre – which is portable as carry on luggage, currently a Supermicro SYS-E200-8D
I have several SATA SSD’s lying around for this, 500GB or 1TB.
Ideally, I would like all 2.5 inch slots to keep size down and 10gig-base-t, but small, lightweight, form factor is the primary goal.
Do you have a product in mind, please?
(I have looked at QNAP TBS-453A – it’s a good candidate, but seems no longer available) 700 + Disks

TBS-453A is now replaced by TBS-453DX and should be available now in UK and USA. It features 10GbE baseT connection for fast data transfer. It also features M.2 SSD cache slots for booting NAS performance even further. You can also choose between SSD and HDD as a main storage medium- trays will support both for factors. Qnp have received design awards last year for this very model. This will be a very popular NAS even next year at SPAN.
