Newbie here,
What I want/need is a really fast 10GbE NAS/DAS that is quiet, saturates the RJ-45 connection for reads and that is "large enough". This comes mostly for video editing / effects use where some of the files may be large and interactivity with video editors and composition apps for one person is desired. On paper it appears that TVS-882ST3 with SDDs would fit the bill. Hopefully when iMac Pro comes out late this year, a unit like this would sit in a closet far away, connect to LAN and have a direct 10GbE connection to workstation.
What puzzles me is the varying config options for the unit - there are different amounts of RAM and different processors. Does anyone know what effect, if any, do those have on transfer speeds? I could potentially run this with RAID 0 (separate unit for back-up), but it would be nice to know what impact, if any, RAID 5 would have - and if these performance characteristics depend on installed options.
Anybody knows details about these?
Which TVS-882ST3 to get? (Or, the quest for speed)

get the TVS-1282T, buy 8 drives, forget the SSD's, and make sure to get thunderbolt to 10G adaptors for your computers (or 10G cards for your PC's) -
you will get crazy fast speeds for everyone that is either direct connected to the 10G ports, or if you add a small 10G switch, everyone on that switch with a 10G conneciton
will be getting about 800 MB/sec - much more than needed to do 8K video editing. With the new iMac Pro, you will get a free built in 10Gbase-T port. You can run a Cat6A cable from the iMac Pro (or any current Mac with a thunderbolt to 10G adaptor) up to 100 meters (About 300 feet).
The 16G model will be all that you need.

Thanks all!
And Bob, I'll trust you. Would be nice to know why you don't recommend SSDs, though? Obvious cost and capacity issues aside.
