We have a TS473A deployed in our local network. We are using it for CIFS file sharing
and iSCSI block storage for our ESXi and ProxMox virtualization environments. We added a
QNAP 10G network card to it and are getting blazing fast data speeds for our VMs and our
User file operations. We have recently begun to use HBS3 for backups and are also
running a sync job for the CIFS folders to our Wasabi hot cloud storage. The TS473A has
been a rock-solid performer. Firmware and Application upgrades are painless and we love
having Security Center to run regular security checkups against the configuration. All
in all, the QNAP NAS has been one of the best and most used purchases for our IT
infrastructure.
