QNAP TS-2888X 256GB 28-bay NAS

If you're in need of a secure and efficient way to store your data, then QNAP's TS-2888X-W2195-256G desktop NAS is an excellent choice. Unlike the usual external hard drives, the NAS (network-attached storage) device can be directly integrated into your network. This gives all computers connected to your network access to the device and data. It offers you ample storage space and uses far less electricity than regular PCs. The desktop NAS device and is equipped with an Intel Xeon W-2195 2.30 GHz processor. Several users can access the stored data simultaneously thanks to the high 256 GB RAM. You won't need to worry about long loading times with this model. You can incorporate the following data storage forms in this desktop NAS system: 0, JBOD, 60, 50, 10, 6, 5 and 1. Using a JBOD architecture to create a multi-disk storage space means you can combine hard drives of random sizes and will not lose the storage capacity of any of them. This is not the case with RAID levels.

RAID 0 stores your data on multiple drives, which increases performance and speed as all work is split among the various drives rather than handled by just one. The drives should ideally have equal storage capacities and a minimum of two drives are required. This RAID level offers no fault tolerance and is therefore best suited for large volumes of high speed storage. RAID 1 offers you high data security through data mirroring. A replica is created of all your data from one drive to another, meaning if one crashes you will still retain all of your information. This also means that the capacity of all your drives is halved because of duplicated content. For smaller NAS systems RAID 1 is an ideal option. RAID 5 stores your data on multiple drives, which gives you high data security. If a drive begins to fail, the data it holds will be recreated and distributed to the other drives allowing users to continue working uninterrupted. For larger NAS systems with more than three hard drives RAID 5 is the ideal choice to retain optimal data security and total drive storage capacity. You get a higher level of data security when implementing RAID 6, even if two hard drives fail, the system will still be operational.
