Continuing on with our WD Gold 22TB SMB performance series, we will look at how these enterprise-grade drives fare when populated inside the QNAP TVS-h1288X. In our last review, we were impressed with the results when combining the 22TB WD drives with the Synology DiskStation DS1821+. Configurations like these will certainly give businesses more flexibility
Recently we wrote a piece (and created a video) highlighting the ease of deployment of Scale Computing’s tiny HCI cluster. The three-node cluster is very simple to set up, making it a favorite for edge use cases like retail. But we got to thinking, what about using these nodes at an edge that’s a little
Back in August, we reviewed the WD Gold 22TB CMR HDD, which was highlighted by OptiNAND-enabled ArmorCache technology. We previously tested the Golds via our 36-bay Supermicro Storage SuperServer (SSG-540P-E1CTR36H) with TrueNAS installed (RAID2Z); however, we wanted to gauge the performance (and value) of the 22TB Golds when used in an SMB environment.
