same motherboard?
you need to be in a x4 PCIe slot for the 10G card in the Win 10 PC’s.

you do not say what your computers are, or what operating systems they are running.
Did you disable SMB signing on both ?

The XS505M is a 4 port unmanaged switch. I strongly suggest if you don’t have the $630 for the Netgear XS708T, that you get the less expensive 8 port QNAP QSW-1208-8C, which I believe is about $489. Also unmanaged, but it’s 8 ports.

listen Michael –
I do this every day –
buy the switch. Make your life easy. We can LACP the two 10G ports to two of the ports on the Netgear XS708T switch, and you will have more than enough bandwidth.And if you are REALLY nervous about having enough bandwidth, forget both the TVS-882 and the TVS-872XT. Get the TS-1685 or TS-1677X (first one is Intel Xeon, second one is AMD Ryzen).
Then you are home free, for the cost of 4 more drives.Bob Zelin

Hi –
I will reply below –
I use the TVS-872XT all the time. It’s the modern replacement for the TVS-871T, and it is certainly as powerful in performance as the TVS-1282T3, which I never use (Because the TS-1685 and the TS-1677X are the same price and more powerful).You want 5 computers ? You get a switch, like a Netgear XS708T. You will be very unhappy with multiple computers with Thunderbolt 3. And even if you don’t listen to me – you have a single 10G port and two thunderbolt 3 ports on the TVS-872XT. The other 2 ports are 1G. Exactly what are you planning to do – install a QNAP LAN-10G2T-X550 dual port 10G card into the PCIe slot of the TVS-872XT for the other 2 connections to your computers ?
I don’t know what the total aggregate bandwidth is for 6 or 8 SSD’s in the TVS-872XT. With 7200 RPM SATA drives, you get about 1100 – 1200 MB/sec. With SSD’s, I guess its greater, but I don’t know when you will start your bottleneck in performance, when you are running 5 stations.
Yes, you cannot connect a computer via the USB port to the QNAP. That is for an external drive.
IF you decide to not get a switch (you are crazy to not get a switch), you put each computer on a different subnet –
so computer # 1 is 192.168.2.11 and that goes to a QNAP port at 192.168.2.3
computer # 2 is 192.168.3.11, and that goes to QNAP port at 192.168.3.3
etc.I do this every day – this is what I do.
Let me know if you need help –Bob Zelin

Hi Michael –
The larger power supply is if you wish to install a GPU card into one of the PCIe slots in the QNAP. This is for transcoding. You will not use this, so you can go with the default power supply.This QNAP does not have 5GbE ports.
This is the page for the QNAP model you have mentioned –
https://www.qnap.com/en/product/tvs-882
these are four 1G ports. You will get a maximum speed of 100 MB/sec when connected to one of these 1G ports.
For professional video editing, you should without question be using a 10G card like the QNAP
QXG-10G1T, which is $89 inside this QNAP. This will give you dramatically faster performance.With all of that said – you are making quite the assumption about the Micron ION SSD’s. They are not supported by QNAP, and I certainly have never used them –
this is the supported SSD page –
https://www.qnap.com/en/compatibility/?model=235&category=1The largest supported SSD’s are 4TB, from companies like Samsung (like the EVO 860 series).
In general, I would never recommend a 6 bay QNAP. You should always be using an 8 drive system, like a QNAP TVS-872XT (which already has the 10G port built in). You may say “well, the SSD’s will be much faster than 7200 RPM SATA drives”. This is true, but I cannot comment with experience on a 4 drive SSD system – and CERTAINLY not with the Micron SSD’s which are not supported. I would hate to see you spend all this money, and have a non working product.
