      Quick guess is that their RAID F1 technology is actually RAID 4. But would need more info to determine.

        They have some cool technology there. I had no idea that Synology was offering this. iSCSI over RDMA even!

          @scottalanmiller Wow, 2 x 6 core CPUs preinstalled and up to 512GB RAM. That's a new one for them.

            I see Amazon has it listed at $10k

              With disks? That would be very affordable.

                Gotta really beef that stuff up when doing software parity RAID for a huge slew of SSDs!

                  Good guess.

                    Very interesting device, I question the mindset to use SATA SSDs though. As I have a strong feeling that many people will want to use consumer grade SSDs.

                      SATA != Consumer

                      Most SSDs are SATA, even enterprise ones.

                        My thought wasn't that SATA = Consumer, but that anyone going out and buying this product, much like the one you posted about a Enterprise RAID controller, will buy from Amazon (even if fulfilled by Synology) and then purchase consumer SATA SSD's because they don't know any better.

                          Consumer SSDs can be okay, if they are the right ones. They are not the huge problem that people like to say that they are. Especially in a RAID 4 system like this designed to address that. Are enterprise drives better if the price is the same? Definitely. Are they always worth the money, not always.

                            I got the email about this product a day after we discussed it here on ML.
