Well, in my case, TS-569L is mostly used as the iSCSI datastore for VMs that run under ESXi 5.1 installed on Mac Mini 6,2. Because of the combined demand for both write and read IOPS from all the VMs that I'm running on the Mac Mini, the RAID5 on TS-569L cannot support the required IOPS. So, I had to move some VMs' datastores off TS-569L just to allow the rest of them to run reliably in the lab environment. At this time, I cannot put more than 5 VMs on the datastore before everything slows down to a crawl and some VMs start crashing. My belief is that this is happening due to low IOPS that RAID5 can yield. It really doesn't matter which hardware platform the datastore is on; the bottleneck is RAID5 consisting of 7500 RPM drives. My hope is that SSD cache can improve the IOPS yield by a factor of 5 or 6 per the article linked to above, which will be sufficient for my lab. I need to run 20 VMs whose datastores are hosted on a RAID-protected iSCSI datastores, and I'm hoping QNAP TS-670 will be able to support this with the SSD cache. The actual virtualization servers will be two Mac Minis running ESXi 5.1 or 5.5 with 10 VMs per Mac Mini.

Thank you again.

Since Crucial released soe 16gb Memory module ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0123B ... pldnSite=1 )

Is the TS670 fr instance upgreadable to 32gB of RAM? (meaning, is the chipset compatible?)
