they compare it against the TVS-x72XT series

they discuss something about ram. Apacer, Kingston, Transcend get mentioned which is curious
instead of 10gbe, they give you 5gbe (which matches what asustor recently added to their lineup. So i'm guessing this is their answer to that? perhaps
). and because it's 5gbe, they recommend using with their QNA-UC5G1T adapterhttps://nascompares.com/2019/07/26/qnap ... re-review/
Check out IEEE 802.3bz, which is the standard that specifies 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T.
2.5 Gbps over 100+ metres of Cat 5e
5 Gbps over 100+ metres of Cat 6
5 Gbps over 100 metres of Cat 5e in certain scenarios (e.g. good cable, low interference)
Odds are you'd probably get 5 Gbps over the short lengths found in homes.
Where are the 5Gb Ethernet routers
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2597835You don't really need a NIC to do this when there are USB3.0 to 5G/2.5G/1G/100M ethernet adapters from QNAP, TRENDnet etc:I don’t remember seeing 1.5mbit, 5mbit nics.

So it won't matter if your PC only has a 1GBASE-T NIC as you won't need to use it.
RJ45 based 10GbE uses a lot of power, generates heat, and requires Cat6A cabling or better.Anything in between is a stop gap
If you are a small business with a lot of Cat5 or Cat6 wiring then 2.5GbE or 5GbE might appeal as you can run that over existing LAN wiring.
The real problem is the limited options regarding switches with this at the moment.
the router in the illustration seems to be a Nighthawk AX8. maybe there are other 5gbe routers, but this is the one i spotted so far
https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker ... 12-80211axThe AX8 is the lower end of the two Wi-Fi 6 routers. It has two 4 x 4 antenna arrays (one for 5GHz Wi-Fi, one for 2.4GHz), five gigabit Ethernet ports, and supports a total of 6GHz of wireless throughput. The AX12 is very similar, but it includes an 8 x 8 antenna array for its 5GHz network, which Netgear says offers better long-range stability, along with a faster processor and a 5Gb Ethernet port.
For now, few (if any) people will actually be able to take advantage of all that power. In fact, you’re likely better off waiting to buy into the Wi-Fi 6 ecosystem: your phone, computer, game console, and everything else in your home almost certainly don’t support the new Wi-Fi standard, so many of these gains won’t help you. You’ll have to buy all new products in the coming years before support for some of these newer technologies arrives.
But if you’re eager to jump in, or just love the idea of wiring up a very capable local network, Netgear is one of the first to start offering this class of router. The AX8 goes on sale this month for $399. The AX12 will arrive in “late Q1 / early Q2” of 2019, with pricing still undetermined.
And while this is the first major Wi-Fi 6 router to be unveiled after the Wi-Fi 6 branding was announced, this router doesn’t actually state that it supports “Wi-Fi 6” on the box. It still says 802.11ax (perhaps because Netgear initially planned to announce this product months ago, but held off until today). A representative for Netgear said that the company “will be using the generational language from the Wi-Fi Alliance,” but that it would take time to implement.

then on the positive side they add 2 pcie instead of just 1in the TVS-x72XT series. Then you don't need to pick between a graphics or a Qm2, you can have both (the newer QM2 can be installed in the smaller pcie slots now).
they also have 2 models, 6 and 8 bay. Interestingly it seems it natively supports 2x m.2 NVME ssds
which is a nice change. M.2 SATA is these days similarly priced to that of m.2 NVME, so it makes more sense going for the NVME which is not bottle necked.the downside is no thunderbolt. not much of a con if you didn't need that to begin with. Also the only option for this is an intel i3. If you require more bays for ssds, well, there are different models that have those extra slots, this model however just has the bare minimum that is fine for most people.
but , it added the 2 pcie vs the 1 pcie in the TVS-x72XT series.
i'm guessing the catch is that this model is meant to be the trimmed cut down version of the TVS-x72XT series for people not requiring thunderbolt, or necessarily pay out for 10gbe, nor pay for the i5/i7 variants (but want something better than a celeron), but instead get something much cheaper by trimming those things out. this is my assumption.
In summary, the features for the NAS does look good (in particular updating to m.2 nvme ssd slots internally? 2 pcie slots and of course the 5gbe), but curious about the final price tag for this model since that is what will be determinant how nice this model is
In particular, how does this compare to TVS-x73e, TS-x73 & TVS-x82 series in price?
https://www.qnap.com/en/product/compare ... t_overview
TVS-x72N seems to be my recommendation if you want something better than a ts-x53be (celeron), but cheaper than a TVS-x72XT & ts-x77. the inbuilt m.2 nvme ssd and 5gbe is also the main deciding factors for this recommendations. and assuming that it achieves a reasonable pricing in between these 2 model ranges.
