Features and flexibility are important, but you need the network speed to keep up
When buying a NAS device, it’s vital to think about flexibility. Starting with the basics, that means buying the right number of bays for your needs. However, it’s also about your ability to use SSD storage in the way that you want. It’s becoming increasingly common to see NAS enclosures that let you use SSDs in a storage pool, for fast, quiet storage, not caching alone. That becomes even more important if you can use four NVMe drives instead of two.
