A 3U QES NAS with 16 internal 3.5-inch SAS positions, two active-active controllers, built-in 10GbE SFP+ ports per controller and a separately created RAID 1 option. Exact compatible drives and the seller bill of materials still need checking.

Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- A source-based fit for an organization planning a rack deployment around 16 SAS positions, a QES dual-controller platform and a multi-component 10GbE path, with an integrator to validate compatible drives and service design.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- This is a heavy, 3U enterprise system rather than a simple home NAS: exact drive compatibility, seller configuration, rack load/clearance, QES setup and operational support all need deliberate planning. Its controllers and RAID 1 are not a backup.
