Hardware, storage and network planning
Plan storage and networking together
Storage: 4 x 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s The system is shipped without HDD. For the HDD compatibility list, please visit https://www.qnap.com/compatibility/. Connectivity: 2.5GbE: 1 (2.5G/1G/100M/10M). Advertised port speed is not a guarantee for one file transfer; drive count, RAID, protocol, client and switch can each become the limit.[1]
Read measured results with their setup
No applicable exact-configuration original test was found. The buying judgment therefore rests on manufacturer specifications and remains unsuitable for measured-performance claims.[1]
What still needs a real-world test
We have verified the specifications, but have not found an original test that we can reliably apply to this exact model. The advice above follows the documented features; performance, noise and long-term reliability are not independently established here.
