Do you really want an all SSD NAS and how does this compare to an HDD NAS?
I review the F8 SSD Plus NVMe NAS for performance and capability and look how it really performs next to traditional Hard Disk based NAS devices. For speed, but also cost and livability.
Includes performance testing of all possible RAID configurations, which NVMe SSDs will be the best choice for this, and where and why this NAS really shines.
