QNAP TVS-672XT 8GB 6-bay NAS

If you're searching for a secure and efficient way to store your data, then QNAP's TVS-672XT-I3-8G desktop NAS is the ideal choice. Unlike the usual external hard drives, you can simultaneously connect all computers in your network to this NAS (network-attached storage) device. It offers you ample storage space and uses far less power than regular PCs. It has It has an Intel Core i3-8100T 3.1 GHz processor. With this model's 8 GB of RAM several users can access its data at the same time. You can incorporate the following data storage arrays in this desktop NAS system: 0, 6, 5, 1, 10, JBOD and 50. When using JBOD (or "just a bunch of disks") you can combine several hard drives, regardless of their storage capacity, and retain all of the storage space. This is not the case with RAID levels.

When using RAID 0, hard drives (ideally of equal storage capacities) are interconnected and work in parallel — this means a higher, faster performance as computer tasks are not handled by just one drive. However, there is no fault tolerance because data is not mirrored, which means this RAID level is better suited for high speed storage of large volumes of data. When using RAID 1 your data will be mirrored from one drive to another so that if one fails you will not lose any information. This fault tolerance also means that your total drive storage capacity is halved due to duplicated content. For smaller NAS systems RAID 1 is an ideal option. When using RAID 5 your data is split among multiple drives and when one drive has an error the data is then copied and distributed to the other drives. This method offers you high data security and you can retain the total storage capacity of all your drives. It's the optimal choice for larger NAS systems with more than three hard drives. RAID 6 offers you high data security and is still operational even if two hard drives in the system fail.
