![]() I have been doing this for a long time, and I cannot begin to tell you HOW MANY companies over the years have misrepresented their products with false information. "Well that’s not fun to hear and extremely annoying that people would just outright lie." You buy the TVS-872XT like you just did, you get the Chevy Corvette. You buy an Annapurna based QNAP, you get the Chevy Spark. I don't care if the speedometer says 110 Miles/Hour on it - you ain't racing a Chevy Spark. I see people on these forums, (and Reddit, and Facebook) that complain about certain QNAP products. Just like you did this time with your purchase. And when you get burned all the time (like I do) - you learn your lessons the hard way. I install a lot of systems, and I make a LOT of mistakes, and make a LOT of bad decisions on purchases and recommendations. People always ask me about these video systems and say "how do you know all of this stuff" - simple - I DON'T know all of this stuff, just like I don't know all the QNAP products. It's all marketing and you bought into it by watching that video. They all use drives from Seagate and Western Digital and they all get the same performance. Unless you are running all SSD's, or all NVMe's (like OpenDrives does) - these products are all the same. These are commodity products - you connect your computer 10G port (I don't care if it's a Mac or a PC - it's a computer) to your 10G switch (I don't care what brand it is), and this connects to your shared storage (again - I don't care what brand this is). One of the reasons that QNAP and Synology became so popular, is that there are countless professional video servers on the market, and they are marketed to be "so much better" and "so much faster". Even with QNAP (or Synology, or Promise, or anyone else) - you see these specs on their web pages, and you go WOW - and then you get the product, and you are disappointed, and say "but it says right here that it goes XXXXX fast". This is what real world experience is about. "It must be true - I saw it on the internet !". With a Promise SanLink2 or Sonnet Twin 10G, you get about 800 MB/sec (with EIGHT drives), but with the exact same computer setup - and a Sonnet Solo 10G T2, you get about 350 - 400 MB/sec. If you are on a Thunderbolt 2 Mac, the different adapters have dramatically different performances. If yes on the switch, exactly which switch. are you going into a switch, or direct. Different switches respond differently - so. You have not stated if you are going into a switch, or directly from your computer into the QNAP. On your 10G network - if you are connecting directly from your computer to the QNAP 10G port (Ethernet port 1) - I strongly suggest that you set a static IP on the QNAP (for example - 192.168.2.3, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, MTU 9000), and on your Mac 10G port, set a static IP (for example - 192.168.2.11, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, MTU 9000). ![]() On a Thunderbolt 3 Mac with a Sonnet Solo 10G or a QNAP QNA-T310G1T, you would be getting about 800 MB/sec (again - with eight drives, not 6). If you were on a PC with a TVS-872XT, you would be getting 900 - 1000 MB/sec on a Win 10 PC (using a QXG-10G1T). ![]() IF you had a TVS-472XT, you would be getting about 450 MB/sec. You are not going to get more than 600 - 650 MB/sec with only 6 drives. I do video post production systems all the time with QNAP. So I'm hoping some of you with more experience can help me out. Also, I am wanting to use this NAS as media storage for video post-production - if that matters or helps. I also don't understand why the read speed is lower than the write speed when connected over 10G network.Īll of this may have something to do with how I have everything configured and I'm honestly hoping that is the case so it can be fixed. I've got say that I am disappointed with the speeds I am getting after having watched a couple of other reviews where they were achieving over 3000MB/s read with the SSD cache and 1000 MB/s write.
