To test the TS-1677X we filled ten of the twelve 3.5in drive bays with 6TB WD Red drives (WD60EFRX, 5,400rpm class, 64MB cache), built into RAID 0,5,6,10,50 and 60 arrays and then tested with a 1GbE connection. We then re-tested the same arrays with a 10GbE connection.

We then tested the NAS with four 960GB Samsung SSD 845DC EVO drives in the four 2.5in bays using a 10GbE connection in RAID's 0, 5,6 and 10.

To connect to the unit's built-in 10GbE port we used an ASUS XG-C100C 10GbE card and a Cat7 cable.

Thanks to Asus for their support with this. You can see more information on this card on the ASUS site, over HERE.
