    Why are NAS devices so expensive

    When you factor in the software development costs of all the apps and firmware that companies like Synology, Thecus and QNAP put in their products it is easy to see where the bulk of the costs are in these units.

    GUI menus have disappeared.

    Merlin, Thanks for your thoughts. In their infinite wisdom Microsoft eliminated the emulation mode button. You can still access it via the tools menu. It did not help in my situation. But you are right, I will just use the Firefox browser.

    Confessions of a 10GbE Network Newbie

    I am a little nervous about the ability of the SSD cache to sustain its performance over time as QNAP does not yet support TRIM. Do you believe that one can rely upon the internal garbage collection in the drive to keep its performance up to speed? I like the idea that QNAP has several...

    Confessions of a 10GbE Network Newbie

    Very good write up Dennis and much appreciated. What has been you experience with SSD cache on the QNAP unit? I have read that it seems to provide great enhancement for 10gb network purposes and VM implementation but really does very little in other implementations. Intuitively it seems as if...
