Which model supports redundant power supply?

[takethephil]

Hello All,

First time posting... I am looking for a better-end of 4-bay NAS. It seems TS-469 Pro seems it'll fit into my needs but have few questions about QNAPs products.

1) Which models support redundant power supply options?
2) Looking at QNAP 4-bay NAS comparison chart, TS-469 Pro states "READ : 224 (Gigabit * 2)". From what I understand, this is read speed with port trunking enabled.
But other models also have multiple NICs. Couldnt I just enable port trunking on other models with mulitple NICs and achieve comparable results??
3) I will be using this box as iSCSI target. Could I just bond 2 NICs and then run iSCSI on top of that bonded port??

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

BYW, I'm looking for 4 x 3TB SATA 6Gb/s, dual NICs, and redundant power supply that supports iSCSI.

Only (rack) models with "RP" in the model name.

I would think so as well.

Comparable but most likely slower unless going for the TS-X79-line, as all other models have a slower CPU than the TS-X69-line.

Also, in the real world you will rarely reach the numbers Qnap achieve in an optimized lab environment.

Only the rack models in the TS-X79-line can do all of that. Performance will be better (the network interfaces will be the bottleneck, hence the 10 GB network option) than with the TS-X69-models and you'll have room for future storage expansion, which never hurts.

No rack model in any of the smaller products support SATA 6 Gbit/s. On the other hand, the performance of a mechanical disk isn't enough for it to really be limited by the SATA 3 Gbit/s interface...
