To test the QNAP TS-453Be we used four 6TB Red drives (WD60EFRX, 5,400rpm class, 64MB cache), built into all the RAID arrays supported by the device; RAID 0,1, 5,6 and 10 and then tested.

For 10GbE testing, QNAP kindly supplied us with a QM2-2P10G1T card to install in the TS-453Be, while in the test rig we used an ASUS XG-C100C 10GbE card. To connect the two we used a Cat7 cable.

The QM2 family of add-in cards consists of four models, supporting either SATA or PCIe M.2 SSDs and/or 10GbE networking. The differences between each of them is best summed up by the diagram above taken from QNAP’s website.
