Hey Cats,

Has anyone had a look at the new QNAP 25GbE switch? Thinking it could be a good solution for our video editing backbone detailed here.

Not looking for a ton of features - just high speed share between NAS and two to three workstations.

TIA!

Interesting, what nics were you thinking of using?

I wonder if there’s a way to avoid a switch somehow, and get 100G for same/similar money in aggregate.

Basically a bunch of dual port QSFP28
