Just want you to know how much I appreciate the wealth of information your provide and the time, effort, and research it takes to create the content. From watching several of your videos, several times over, I just today made the purchase of the Synology NAS 920+ along with four 6TB drives. I kept going back and forth between QNAP and Synology and struggled with the slower connection of the Synology LAN ports but ultimately decided their software was better for me, particularly with DSM 7 coming soon. Your ability to explain while at the same time providing so much detail is outstanding!! Thank you.
Much appreciated as always. Still surprised that Synology haven't entered this space. I do wonder if this is maybe because their router/mesh network sales aren't that great and that has put a stop on further network products.
You can use the 10G ports to build a trunk and link multiple of these switches or similar in a network without bottlenecks. I wish there were more options like this available.
This is a pretty capable switch, I've been playing with one for a bit and will do some videos on it as well. I ran 10GbE from my home office to my garage (long story) but this little switch is pretty sweet!
Still using one of these (the unmanaged) for my media and security setup - whisper quiet! I know the Managed version here has a small internal fan, but it is still crazy quiet
Lets face it onboard 2.5Gb/s is still rare, most MOBO vendors only offer this on their mid-high range boards still, and they're not even on the horizon for Laptops or Docks - Though 2.5Gb/s dongles are fairly cheap! This means the focus here will be prosumers, which leads to a further problem, if you have a 10GbE NAS, then you will likely have other 10GbE equipment (I for example, have ESXi hosts with 10GbE NICs)... and 2 ports just isn't enough... if they added 4 at this price point, then it'd be much more desirable. The real issue though (especially in the Western market) they are trying to pitch themselves, probably unintentionally, directly between Mikrotik (on cost) and Ubiquiti (on usability), but they're not pulling it off.
This is what I've been waiting for - 2.5GbE managed switch with 10G combo ports. I have the unmanaged 308-1C, and it's been flawless, but I've been waiting for a 10 gig switch with LAG-able 2.5g ports.
Having just moved 12 TB off a NAS box at 1GBps before I rebuild the volumes, God I could have done with this. So I see that it has a SFP+, can you connect SFP to SFP+. I currently have a HP 1810G-24 handling most of my connections and was wondered if I could connect it to this QNAP?

I'm definitely between this new Qnap switch and the new Netgear MS510TXM. Both amazing prosumer devices
Thank you. I am about to make my 'first tippie toes' in to NAS. This was a nice overview for maybe something later on :-)

Love the switch ...but basic VLAN setup issues are frustrating the hell out of me
It would be nice to have a WiFi 6e “rooter” with this kind of connectivity.

What's the temps on it while it was running sustained 40Gbps at times?
What no PoE??
