Lightning-fast networking

This NAS drive has the fastest networking my computers have ever encountered. Browsing files and folders is a breeze, thanks to the 10GbE port. Plus, the scalability options are endless with the ability to connect to other QNAP products. The only downside is the cost, but that's to be expected for such high-end performance.

Pros
  • The QNAP TS 431X3 High Speed 10GbE Port provides very fast data transfer speeds, making it ideal for businesses that need to move large amounts of data quickly.
Cons
  • Rumpled

Be sure to avoid this

After about a week of flawless operation, I received a notification that a software update was available and the NAS needed to be restarted. I let it restart but then I noticed it didn't come back online. It turns out that the MAC addresses on all three interfaces (10G, 2.5G, and 1G) changed to seemingly random values (resulting in my DHCP server assigning them different IP addresses). I found it strange, but I tried connecting to the new IPs via the web interface and got the initial setupโ€ฆ

Good Enough So Far - Devices

I've used QNAP in production before, so I already knew what to expect. In my experience, these are reliable devices and they get the job done, especially the main purpose of a NAS: acting as a backup drive and file repository/server. Forums where you are more likely to find clearer and quicker answers than the official documentation. The device is of high quality and usually quite easy to set up. However, you have to overcome many tricky hurdles to enable CIFS/SMB (Windows file share) and NFSโ€ฆ

  • Annoying
