By Cnet | 31 August 2016

[Review] QNAP TBS-453A M.2 NAS

By PCWorld | Augusgt 2016

This product is the perfect unit for a very busy office or home environment where five or more PCs are accessing the unit at once, but if you're only hooking it up to your PC and gaming consoles, we think it's overkill. Still, Qnap should be commended for coming up with such a unique and powerful NAS, and the inclusion of media features means it's also brilliant as a media server, albeit a very expensive one....More info

Beta programs on Sophos Intercept and XG Firewall v16

By Perfect Storage| August 2016

The benefit of PerfectDisk is that it dramatically reduces the SCSI workload which in turn reduces the physical disk I/O workload. The HBA-LUN queue has 32 slots; when you read a file with 100 SCSI commands you have to use the entire queue 3.125 times.  When the same file has one SCSI command that uses just a single slot the queue contention, a bottleneck, is alleviated.
