Next, we can discuss the software abilities of the QNAP TVS-872XT Thunderbolt 3.All that hardware and power will be rather useless without being able to do anything with it! We have covered that this device can be connected via Thunderbolt 3 and 10Gbe for live editing of 1080p and 4K on the NAS remotely as an external drive (using Final Cut Pro, PhotoShop, Da Vinci Resolve and more), but what about the general NAS uses outside of this content creation industries? I am pleased to confirm that this NAS can do EVERYTHING that QNAP and QTS can offer and here is just a handful of them: QNAP TS-453BT3 10gbe ports The system administrator is able to configure video library and editing permissions according to user preferences Fully agree with you about the open architecture and software on the QNAP NASs, that to me is a huge plus and the reason I went for QNAP 11 years ago, and my old 659 Pro NAS is still running now; I’ve also found their products to be extremely reliable. This mini-size NAS-compatible enclosure has a capacity of 22 liters and can hold up to twelve 2.5″ SAS, including four internal and 8 external hot-swappable 3.5″ SATA drives for ease of access. Aside from simple usage, I don’t think you can dispute how premium and feature-rich this high-quality, robust, and attractive case is. Thank you for a very comprehensive and albeit a long video, but you covered so much material in that time.

Simple as that. The only thing I missed, but was easy to fix, was that my VMs did not boot after the restore. This turned out to be because the virtual NIC interfaces retained the old (now non-existent) NIC ID ‘re0’ from the previous build. This was simple to fix in the GUI by simple editing the device entry and applying the correct NIC.The number of hard drives that can fit inside a mini ITX NAS case will vary depending on the specific case model. However, most mini ITX NAS cases can accommodate at least 4 hard drives, while some high-end models can even support up to 8 and 10 storage drives. Can a mini ITX NAS case support RAID configurations? Dissecting these limited characters in the title however, got me excited, it would appear this unassuming box already contained almost everything I needed:

Such compact cases with little space “behind” the PSU are a prime example of the one disadvantage modular PSUs have in such space-constrainted situations: A need for additional space for those plugs there. Users Wanting NVME beware and reminder you HAVE to have decent airflow. The N2 simply is not great for airflow with NVME or other pcie adapters that generate any kind of heat.As you can see, there is a whole bunch of reasons for the growth in popularity of 8-Bay NAS in both business and home. But the choice is still pretty big, with fewer 6 and 8-Bay NAS released than the other sized devices, it is still a large range to sort through and it pretty intimidating without a little more knowledge on the devices. For now, I'm happy having a server that can consistently write 700+ MB/sec, and read 1.1 GB/sec, with extremely low latency, over my 10 gigabit network.
