When it comes to packaged NAS hardware, QNAP is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. These two examples help prove the point, the TS-h1290FX 12-bay NVMe NAS and the TBS-h574TX 5-bay SSD NAS are some of the coolest NAS designs in the market. The 12-bay system even has a ton of power, with the AMD EPYC CPU, plenty of DRAM and 25GbE on the back end. These units even support GPUs, which is pretty slick - we'll show this NAS running AI workloads in an upcoming article and video. The 574TX is innovating thanks to its support for E1.S enterprise SSDs. While this is less a performance story with 10GbE and Thunderbolt 4 as the primary data access paths, the system design is amazing in its own right. Sure, you can build your own NAS on server hardware and if you're a homelabber or have the right support in place, that's a great option. But for small businesses or system integrators who need easy to manage systems in the field these are amazing units. Full video!

Brian made the mistake of setting Jordan and Kevin off on a late Friday mission to build a Flat NAS. Join our Discord! discord.gg/storagereview

The 1U HP Z4 Rack G5 workstations are amazingly dense and well-designed. We have two in the lab for a special project we’ll show off at NAB 2024 with Tuxera. TLDR; fast SMB access to high-capacity storage with these Zs.

Open-air data centers require creative solutions to deal with heat and humidity. Another questionable Kevin rig.

These lab guys are never happy—they're always tinkering with our toys. In this case, they ripped out all six NVIDIA 4090 GPUs from the Comino system just to make sure all was well after the server took a massive drop during shipping. The full review is up on the website now; the link is in the bio.
