I think TB will remain longer than FW. At least the FW bandwidth could be equal to other solutions, while TB bandwidth can't be surpassed by ANYthing today, we are talking of 20Gbs! The best you can rival is 5Gbs of USB3 but with all the limitations we saw. Also the next steps will be 40Gbs TB3...

With eSATA, one must check also if it's at 6Gbs, because I've seen all of them at 3Gbs and so they are useless, as they are limiting the real bandwidth at about 270MB/s... and that's similar to USB3 (even if USB3 should be faster as it is 5Gbs). The 3Gbs eSATA could make sense with single or...

NTFS cannot be the bottleneck, because the same filesystem with 4 Raid0 internal disks give extreme high speed. But also with TB2 unit. NTFS could be slower compared to some NAS filesystem but that could be very limited speed difference, not huge limiting as those bandwidth reported. That's not...

Yes, there is also the CPU thing. Also a 4bay DAS with an eSata connector @6Gbs could be good if I could find one...

Yes, Kamina I've not seen any USB3 good speed, too. I saw an old Lacie Quadra with 4 disks in Raid0 declaring in the spec *only* 270MB/s! Here the bottleneck is the conversion interface for sure, not the array of disks. USB3 should reach quite 5-600MB/s... Yes, TB2 or 10Gb. Also internal...

Interesting. I think I'll leave the NAS at this moment. It remains DAS. I saw only Drobo with 4bay USB3, but its performance with 4HD Raid5@about 200MB/s are ugly. Of course in Raid0, 4HD should be capable of more than 400MB/s, but should a Drobo put them out of USB3? Any other DAS capable of this?

Thank you, Trexx. Is the LACP usable bypassing the switch? Connecting directly the QNAP 4port to the Intel pcie 4port ? In this case, should I configure also the pc some way with that NIC teaming, or should it be configured only on the QNAP settings? Of course there are the HD choice, and their...

I don't think your post is of any help. I explained how I could look at a NAS in *my* particular case: as a single user unit connected to a single computer through LAN instead of USB3. To me it seems like a DAS. I only want to access video files at a great read speed with raid0 and a minimum...

Well, let's think of a single working user. I can't consider a SAN. In this case USB3 (max 600MB/s theoretically) should be fine. Of course TB/TB2, but the problem is on the lack of the pc diffusion. The NAS I could use is not thought for more pc simultaneously in network but only because I've...

I need a storage device on pc that I can use in Raid0 for uncompressed video at very high transfer speed, at least 350MB/s. I saw some QNAP or Synology NAS 4bay with 4x1Gb ports capable of 450MB/s (the 10Gbe it seems too much at the moment). In the NAS settings, which trunking method should I...
