Cloud Dock 4 vs. Cloud Store 20 TB

PostSun May 28, 2023 6:28 pm

Hi -
The Cloud Store 20 TB is $7595. The Cloud Dock is $1395. The Cloud Store 20 TB is all NVMe drives RAID 5. These are not easy to replace in case of failure. The Cloud Dock 4 allows you to just pop in four U.2 NVMe drives which are crazy fast compared to regular NVMe drives. If you install four 8 TB (7.68 TB) Samsung U.2 NVMe drives, this will give you 32 TB at RAID 0, and by using OWC SoftRAID Pro ($250), now you can do a RAID 5 on the Cloud Dock 4. So your cost is $1400 + $250 + (600 x 4) = $2400 for drives, and after RAID 5 you get 24 TB of storage. Same user interface, more storage, probably faster than the Cloud Store 20 TB because of the drives, same four 10G ethernet ports.

so the Cloud Dock 4 total cost would be $4050. Doesn't it make more sense to do the Cloud Dock 4 ?

Bob:
Are you running either or both of these solutions? I am in the process of ordering a Cloud Store 20TB because it seems like an ideal product for me. If anyone is able to respond to this in the real world with a Cloud Store 20TB, I'd be happy to hear avbout your experience.
