I am keeping it simple – this is reference that helps me explain things for myself and for my customers. Situation: why do I need RAID 5 when we have 2 NAS’s – it already has redundancy/backup. RAID 5 is not being used for redundancy – it is used to lower the overall cost of a system you know WILL fail 1 day (these hard drive are quite hot and are mechanical devices)

I use cpuboss alot but lately it doesn’t deliver or have as many CPU’s I have been looking for lately – but its google ranking is killer – so it is at the top. I am looking up a new QNAP for a client and wanted to compare it with the current QNAP he has. CPU boss also hasn’t helped me with a pfsense NUC either so again I had a hard time. Is it because they are Since they are embedded CPU’s – they have odd names (especially AMD ones) but … are they good? How do they line up with lets say a Gen 4 i7? I don’t know – but these guys at CPU Benchmark do! You can compare the 2 QNAPs here as well – take a look.
