Hi,
I'm looking to replace and upgrade our existing QNAP device as we need more performance and capacity. We're only a smallish company of circa 50 people so not looking at high level enterprise solutions. The device will only be used for iSCSI SAN duties.
I was originally looking to go the Synology route but it seems their latest DS1817(+) models are rather underwhelming.
I've thus been looking around and it seems the best bet would be a QNAP TVS-871. My plan would be to fill this with two RAID10 arrays, one set of 4 SM863 960GB SSDs for performance critical stuff like databases and one set of 4 8TB HDDs for general storage.
This seems to be a good bet for around the £5k mark, or are there alternatives I should be considering around this price point?
