In our QNAP TBS-h574TX we go into how QNAP may have made the NAS of the future with this E1.S and M.2 SSD Thunderbolt and 10GbE NAS

I know someone that wants a Thunderbolt-attached device that supports multiple M.2 drives. Can this be used like a DAS over the Thunderbolt port?

I think qnap uses TB over IP. Would act more like a network device than a DAS.

If you need native Thunderbolt storage the OWC Express 4M2 might be a good option. I’d be interested to see if IP over Thunderbolt performs differently/better than PCIe over Thunderbolt, though, especially in the 20Gbps and up range. Might not be possible to test that with this hardware, though, and I imagine it varies a lot by OS.

I use p2p between devices and it works fine at 20gbps for a whole lot cheaper than Ethernet. A bit disappointed that it doesn't sync at 40 though between devices. Might change with TB5 or USB4.2 when the new controllers come out.

Guess who on the team captured that one and said "we must use this?"

Thanks for the review!
Are there by any chance additional performance benchmarks using the TB4 connection?
I believe QNAP on its website claims to go above a classic 10gbps link (1637 MB/s Write/1736 MB/s Read) - with the network over TB4 connection at 20gbps.
If one was able/closer to saturate a 20gbps link, that could probably be an argument in favor of this device beyond its potentially controversial specs/pricing.
Thanks!
