Racked Synology NAS + NVMe Cache Is there currently a racked Synology NAS 3.5″ 12+ disk product with NVMe SSD cache support, Xeon processors and 10Gbe? The answer is no unless you get one with an expansion. Synology has two models with NVMe SSD card support and 10GbE built in, but CPU will be Atom: RackStation […]
I also have to say at the start here that I use to use FreeNAS for many years and build my own setups for that over the years. Kind of getting sick and tired of constantly fooling around with that as I don’t have as much free time anymore and would like to find an […]
I’m looking at a QNAP TS-873 and am going to add a 10gbe card to it. The QM2 card is overkill as the NAS has M2 slots and the QXG-10G1T card is out of stock everywhere that doesn’t have inflated prices. In your opinion would this Asus card from Amazon work. Qnap is very open […]
I have a QNAP Tvs-873e. I’ve been on a gigabit network for some time. I’m awaiting parts for a new workstation build and will be adding a 10gbe card, so I ordered one of the QNAP dual 10gbe PCIe cards form QNAP. While waiting for those, I’ve been looking at switches. Right now, my network […]
I’m looking to upgrade my existing RS815+ and RX415. I’ve run out of space/drive bays and feel I could use some extra RAM and horsepower. I was about to pull the trigger on RS3617xs+ but what I’m understanding is that unit doesn’t support SHR which is a must for me. Can you recommend another Synology […]

Router with 10GBE. Recently purchased a Netgear X10 Router (Model R9000), of which a rebadged newer model is coming out soon, the XR-700. These are the only two routers for the Prosumer that have a 10GBE port (SFP+) that I know of. I currently have a Synology DS214Play with 2 X 10TB, a Cisco SG-300 […]

Hi. I am a photographer/creative professional who works primarily with Adobe Lightroom on a late 2013 iMac. I also dabble in video (little bit of 4K video editing). I am new to the NAS game, and have recently put together the following setup: Synology DS218+ with 2x Western Digital Gold 4TB hard drives (setup in […]
I have installed a E10G18-T1 into my ds1618+. I have installed an asus XG-C100C into my win 10 desktop. Both installations appear successful. I have connected the two cards via a 4meter cat6A cable. Synology Assistant finds the NAS connected via this cable. It has a mac address only, status is offline, WOL is off. […]

I am a freelance videographer/editor and so far, I have used my iMac’s internal hard drive and/or external hard drives for both storing files and backing up files from multiple computers/hard drives. Recently, almost all of my available space across these platforms become full, and I didn’t want to go through the same process of […]
I’ve been waiting for years to purchase a NAS so that I could ensure that all of my personal files are stored in a safe place and not on my 2 desktop HDDs. Now I am ready to purchase and need some feedback on what my best option(s) would be. Use is for small business/home […]
I have been reading and reading, but am still unable to choose a NAS for my use. I am doing photography and some limited video editing (HD and 4K) and have quite a big library of files. Mostly RAW files and Video recordings that take up space. I see that I should get a NAS […]
I’m moving from a Syn 1815+ to a RS3618xs and upgrading network to 10GBe as well. Our workstations are USB-C, so I went with Sonnet SOLO adapters, but the nic for the Syn is SFP+. If you had to buy a switch with both RJ45 and SFP+, what is your first choice? I’ve been looking […]
Lowest Priced 10Gbe we have seen, but does the Buffalo TeraStation 5810DN NAS do the job? With file sizes growing constantly, the need for a faster network connection in your home or office has never seemed more important. We at NASCompares have spent a lot of 2018 telling you about the versatility of 10Gbe, the ease […]
I’m looking to add a NAS device with dual 10GBE ports to my work network to host GIS data (some being large datasets) and would like some advice. I’ll be getting two new PCs and an 8-port 10GBE switch (depending on which option below) when I get the NAS. We currently have a Windows 2012 […]
We are a small 3d studio consisting of 3-4 people working in an office with several computers/workstations and a single NAS we bought 2 years ago the QNAP TS-453a. We were actually so clueless that we bought a NAS at the time that had a lot of the features we never used or needed like […]
I’m searching for a NAS where I can store my 4k video files and also edit from. I already looked into the QNAP TVS-871 and the Lumaforge Jellyfish mobile, but I have no experience or knowledge in this field. So maybe you could help me a little bit. The best would be a 20-30TB storage […]
