In every aspect, except price.
Samsung 1 TB SSD for 150€, Seagate 8 TB for 220€.
- cm2187 8y agoAgree. And for a NAS the performance of SSD are unlikely to be required. In fact at one point I made the mistake of enabling SSD caching on a NAS. The SSD became the bottleneck because of the limitation of SATA, ie one SSD on SATA is slower than 8 or 10 HD in RAID5. So unless you really need very high iops, HD are likely to be good enough.
- wtallis 8y agoI'm curious who sold you a NAS with SSD caching that didn't support bypassing the cache for sequential I/O. That's a pretty basic and obvious feature, and it seems like the manufacturer must not have been taking their SSD caching feature seriously if they didn't implement bypassing.

- wtallis 8y agoNo, it isn't. That's about 6x the price in the US and at least 5x the price in Australia. No combination of VAT and shipping fees can account for that big of a discrepancy. You're probably just looking at a retailer that has inflated the price while they're out of stock. Try getting a quote from someone who has stock in your country ready to ship.
- apiudit 8y agoYou are right, 906€ for the 4TB, 1TB is 188€ (amazon prime prices)
