A clear recommendations for anyone looking for a reliable on-premise storage solution with real support behind it.

What won us over is the mix of performance and easy management. Specifically, we run an RS2423 with an AMD Ryzen V1780B, equipped with HAT5310 20TB Enterprise HDDs in RAID6. For large audio and video files, that gives us exactly the security and capacity we need. With the M2D20 card using Enterprise NVMe SDDs as Cache, team access is fast and responsive, even with parallel access to large files. The system runs stably, access via various protocols and remote works smoothly the scalability fits our growth well. Even without a large IT Team, everything is easy to operate.
