If you ever do get around testing the switch with Jumbo Frames enabled and the QNAP NAS, I’d be interested in the results. I’m about to install a TS-1685 in my home office and would be nice to keep it all Ubiquiti. Love the idea of one management interface for all my network components, however performance needs to be on par.

I have a couple of Ubiquiti products in my home office. You’ll need either a cloud key or controller software running on a computer. Assuming you’ve adopted the switch and you have access to the controller’s web GUI, you can enable jumbo frames here:
Select “Devices” on the sidebar, select the switch, this will open up the properties tab, go to config > services, enable jumbo frames and apply. This will enable Jumbo Frames for all ports on the switch.Salvador Garza

Thanks for the additional info Mauro and Martin.
Mauro, have you tried adjusting the Max IO transfer size of your ATTO HBA through the ATTO Config Tool?
Does YoYotta allow you to specify a buffer size?

Hi Mauro,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your system, what kind of mac, how you’re connecting to the autoloader, any other peripherals that might be sharing the bus, etc.
How big is each CDNG? Where are they located? Directly attached storage? Network share?

You are not alone, to this day I don’t understand why people go to reddit for professional technical advice. To my surprise there’s a large Synology “support” group or community or whatchamacallit

Definitely reassuring to know you haven’t had any issues with this bug. I actually had no knowledge of it until I suggested to someone in a DIT forum to look at QNAP as a potential shared storage solution. About 4-5 people immediately brought up this issue.

Thanks Victor!
Have you had any problems with the “silent” data corruption issue on certain QNAP models?
I was about to pull the trigger on the model Bob recommended, however news broke out on the issue and have put the purchase on hold.https://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=4277

Thanks for the recco.
B&H sells a fully loaded 871T (48TB) for $4,700, not bad.
The TB3 to 10GBaseT from Promise looks very nice, bus power is a big plus for our type of setup.
My initial selection of the 531x was based on it already having a 10G port (albeit SFP+) and small footprint, not price point. Fully loaded 871T weighs approximately 30lbs, the 531x comes in at about 20lbs. But if it can’t perform, this is a mute point. I’m still trying to get familiarized with QNAP’s offering.

Thanks for your insights Bob, very much appreciated.
We’re not looking for directly attached storage, in the market for mobile/portable shared storage solution for 2-3 users on FCP X, Premiere and Resolve.
Footprint and performance are the main factors driving our QNAP model selection. Need something that will comfortably and safely fit within a Pelican 1510 (carry on). Would like to avoid investing in TB2 to 10GbE adapters at this point as we’ll most likely move to new MacBook Pros in the next 4mo (at that point we’d probably add a 10GBaseT card and TB3 to 10GBaseT adapters). Also need to keep the footprint as small as posible on set. Unfortunately real estate for editors on set is an after thought and most times end up working in a small corner.
For the time being looks like we will need a TB2 to SFP+ for the ingest station in order to avoid any bottle necks while copying footage onto the unit. Hoping to get ~300MB/s write (RAID5 on 5x 7200rpm WD RED Drives) speed over 10G SFP+ on the 531X, based on your experience does that sound reasonable?
Thanks again!

This fixed the issue for us:
Open the project in the original creator/owner’s computer. Delete render files (under sequence menu). Set Scratch disks to “same as project” (under project settings). Save project and you should be ready to go.Salvador Garza
