Is the QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P NAS and PoE Switch worth your data? https://nascompares.com/2019/11/27/qn...
Throughout 2019 I have looked at ALOT of NAS devices, some small, some absolutely huge. However, a NAS drive on its own is not enough for most users who want to use their data in a more entrepreneurial or enterprise way. For those users, a network switch will be needed in order to manage a wider network of devices (PCs, Macs, Servers, CCTV cameras, media devices, etc) and ensure that communication between all users on the network can be fluid, smooth, fast and safe. Over the years we have seen QNAP evolve from a brand focused on network storage to a fantastically innovative brand that is slowly absorbing all areas of networking. This latest solution may well be the most innovative step I have seen yet, with the release of the Guardian QGD-1600p, a combined NAS drive and Managed network switch. Arriving with an impressive NAS CPU+Memory, running parallel with a 16 port managed switch (whilst still supporting communication in between), supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) and combination with two SFP+ ports, this is a genuinely unique device that (if I am honest) am surprised doesn’t already exist – that isn’t selling QNAP short here, I just think this is an idea that I am amazed no one hasn’t already tried. Still, QNAP beat everyone to the punch and released a very interesting and unique device. Today we want to take a good look at the QGD-1600P Guardian and figure out if this NAS+Switch combo is a better choice for you than purchasing separately. Let’s get started.
