TrueNAS Mini X+ iXsystems NAS Review What exactly IS the iXsystems TrueNAS Mini series? Isn’t TrueNAS free? That is a good question and worth looking into a little. I think it has crossed the mind of even the most loosely experienced NAS user that building your own NAS from scratch has always been an option. […]
Review of the WD Black SN770 M.2 NVMe SSD for NAS Drives I don’t think it would be an understatement to say that Western Digital and their WD Black SN850 released back in 2020 was one of the very (if not THE first) commercially accessible m.2 SSDs that allowed domestic users to hit 7,000MB/s. Getting […]
The QNAP TS-133 NAS Drive Review The QNAP TS-133 is a new NAS, sure, but there have been ALOT of these systems for a while now and why should you care about this one? It’s a valid question.

The QNAP TS-233 NAS Drive Review Making the switch from the likes of Google Drive, DropBox and the rest can be rather intimidating.

Seagate Firecuda Beskar Ingot USB External Hard Drive Review Generally, I rarely review USB drives here on NASCompares, as aside from external casing differences, they are generally all ‘much of a muchness. So, why am I breaking this rule today and reviewing the Seagate Firecuda External Hard drive? Well, let me explain. Buying a USB […]
Synology DS2422+ NAS Review – Go Big or Go Home? I think it would be safe to say that Synology sells quite a lot of NAS. The brand has always had a strong focus on software and providing ‘solutions’, as opposed to ‘flogging hardware’, but ultimately the outcome is that Synology continues to be the […]
Review of the MASSIVE WD Red Pro 20TB Hard Drive for NAS You really have to stop and marvel at the speed at which hard drives and storage, in general, grow every year. Despite the established rule of Moore’s law that these things double in size every two years, the very idea that Western Digital […]
Synology DS1522+ NAS Review – And Now for Something Completely Different, sort of… Many who have been following the release strategy of the popular network-attached storage brand, Synology, have been noticing something of a shift towards premium business products this last few years.

Synology RS422+ NAS Review – The Compact Ryzen Rackmount Synology has really been hitting the enterprise and high-end business market hard of late!

Review of the WD Ultrastar HC560 20TB Hard Drive for NAS The speed at which Hard Drive technology has evolved has been pretty crazy. Not so long ago, many highly respected journals and tech sites were signing the death warrant of Hard drives, largely down to the growing affordability of SSDs, NAND storage capacity and […]
Review of the Terramaster T9-423 NAS Drive Terramaster has really been remarkably busy in 2022 releasing their new range of hardware and software developments to their steadily growing audience.

Review of the WD Black SN850X PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD Before you sink your teeth into the review of the WD Black SN850X SSD, it is important to understand that this is not the same as the widely available and industry applauded SN850 SSD. On the face of it, the difference is simply the […]
Review of the WD Red Pro 22TB Hard Drive for NAS Remember when everyone said that hard drives would be dead by 2020? Yes, to say that statement has been debunked so incredibly thoroughly that it seems a bit comical to think that HDDs were going to go away any time soon. Yes, SSDs still […]
Review of the Reolink Duo 2 WiFi Camera – Any Good? I have quite a large number of cameras here on the blog/video and I think it would be fair to say that although most are all functional and reliable bits of kit, they are not particularly exciting! Security cameras are not designed to be […]
The D-Link DWR-978 5G SIM Router Review If you are looking at a router like the D-Link DWR-978, then chances are that the main appeal is the fact that it is a mobile/cellular data router. The rise in popularity of mobile SIM routers in the last few years has been pretty astounding and part of […]
Review of the Seagate Firecuda 530 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD Of all the PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs that I have discussed in the last year or so, very few have stood out as much as the Seagate Firecuda 530 SSD. Although arriving late in the game in August 2021 (whilst their biggest rivals […]
