Welcome to ZDNet's DIY-IT project lab, where we've been stress testing RAID devices for your entertainment and edification. We put seven NAS boxes to the test and, in this final installment, we take you behind the scenes and summarize our results.
Welcome to the sixth of seven NAS stress tests, where we brutalize NAS devices to failure and then attempt to see if they can be recovered. This week, we dig into the Synology DiskStation DS1817+, a device that sets the bar for future desktop RAID and NAS boxes.
Welcome to the fourth of seven NAS stress tests, where we brutalize NAS devices to failure and then attempt to see if they can be recovered. This week, we dig into the Western Digital MyCloud PR4100. Overall, it's the fastest box we've tried, but it failed an important test.
Welcome to the third of seven NAS stress tests, where we brutalize NAS devices to failure and then attempt to see if they can be recovered. This week, we dig into the QNAP TVS-473, the only RAID we tested with a built-in HDMI media center output. It's quite impressive, but Mac users might not like it.
Welcome to the second of seven NAS stress tests, where we brutalize NAS devices to failure and then attempt to see if they can be recovered. This week, we evaluate the Buffalo TeraStation 5410DN. This one's gonna hurt.
