I've since discovered the ASUS BRT-AC828. It's an impressively comprehensive package, albeit with a hefty price tag.

Hi, I'm trying to work out the best way to separate a home and B&B with VLANs so that they are not a threat to each other but can both access the (PPPoE or IPoE) broadband connection. Currently there is a standard home wireless router. The home uses wireless and ethernet, and the B&B is...

Hi all, I have a Storage Spaces pool on a server that is not currently power protected. It consists only of mechanical hard drives. I want to compare performance of write caching enabled vs disabled so I can make a decision about how much of a financial priority power protection should be. Is...

Alrighty, that's definitely a curveball. Thanks for pointing that out. That said, after doing a lot of Googling (and finding entire threads where no one knew about the write caching policy) I've been having trouble working out whether the enforced write caching policy is OS-wide, or specific to...

The build hasn't been greenlit yet, but having had several years experience with ReadyNAS I'm definitely going with a custom build (helped by the fact that I need to build a new domain controller server anyway). While ReadyNAS probably has the best feature set of the turnkey NAS systems, we've...

Thanks for that. That's some pretty nifty info. I definitely intend to use SSDs for hot storage on the NAS, and the non-routable network might be fun to experiment with. I think my mindset in the original post was based on earlier version of Premiere Pro, where even people on 10Gbe networks...

I think I get what you're saying. However, the workflow of a Premiere Pro project benefits greatly from increased drive performance, as opposed to the simple streaming of video I think you're referring to. That said, you raise a fair point about whether bandwidth would be the limiting factor...

Hi, Got a bit of an advanced question here, but I found another thread on this site that makes me hopeful I can learn some useful stuff. Background: Our video production business is growing rapidly and in desperate need of a NAS upgrade. In addition to running out of disk space, 1Gbps (albeit...
