Available in various configurations, the reviewed model includes an Intel Core i5 processor and 16GB of RAM.
There's no better person to break this NAS down on video than Vince. He's a media professional, his ilk are the ideal targets QNAP had in mind when designing this NAS. In this video he breaks down the hardware and capabilities of this creatively designed SSD NAS.

[@Kattakam]

they have excellent 100GbE network cards that would have been better for this but the 2.5 nic is a slap in NAS architecture face.

[@jserenity]

Even if the E1.S goes up to 16TB, the compatibility qnap list for that device only have up to 8TB. That was up to last week when I checked

[@alevilikvealeviler]

I need one of these! But I could not find any company selling E1.S - flash drives.

[@StorageReview]

They're not real common but any distributor should be able to find them pretty easily.

[@tumdedum]

Can I hook it up with a relatively old TerraMaster NAS?

[@pratiknaikedu]

SSD NAS?! I'm so hot and bothered right now.

[@DT-vc7hd]

Pssssh. I'm already finished and having a smoke

[@epsig1507]

Nice video. Have you tested the performances on Linux?

[@StorageReview]

Typically we do - but in this case we really just focused on the primary use case.

[@MinhBui-po2kj]

do you have any sort of noise test?

[@ajingolk7716]

Hi SR can you help please am looking for a 8 bay m.2 nvme enclosure 5.25" i found CP121 but i cant find no where plus it is very expensive

Northeast does that mean you're in Boston or New York

[@StorageReview]

Vince in in NYC area, main lab is Cincinnati.

[@pizzlespettime]

@@StorageReview wow that is quite an operation you guys are building. I can definitely dig it.

[@kimsonvu]

Do Qnap Os ask customer use their nvme brand ssd?

[@StorageReview]

no

[@Kattakam]

nope, they have amazing proprietary OS w/apps that constantly gets integrated with new features from the community. However, for my 12 bay it was pricey at the time, $3k USD which didn't include drives. This was close to ten years ago and it's still works very very hard. Just love the ROI.

[@computersales]

Kind of the wrong time to go crazy for SSDs...

[@StorageReview]

If you need something like this, you're not going to wait 2 years for prices to maybe come down.

[@TayschrennSedai]

So... You used a subpar disk benchmark which made you feel windows was thus not applicable? That doesn't make a lot of sense. Just use a different tool; heck, Atto is available for windows.

[@StorageReview]

We go into more detail in the full review, but it wasn't the poor performance alone, rather the inconsistent performance among several different Windows machines that led us to that view, including using Atto.

[@TayschrennSedai]

@@StorageReview appreciate the follow up, that's somewhat critical information given this video's approach

[@EthelbertCoyote]

It's more that Thunderbolt on PC is not in a good spot right now, so manufacturers engineered it likely for mac and then did not worry about PC compatibility past that. Seriously the inconsistency between thunderbolt interface makers on PC is underreported. The spec needs to tighten up and force giving more detailed chip specs for it to do well on windows. Wendel over at Level1Techs has had serious issues with both 3 and 4.

[@Nkvik]

Instead of repeating "like I said" x100 times you could have mentioned the fking price.

[@Kattakam]

yea, you did mention it as one of your video's supporting conversations. Thank goodness for smart phones though. Even if price was mentioned, might be a budgeting no no as a company to talk contract details, it would fluctuate with market value.
