QNAP makes a variety of NAS devices that range from smaller desktop models with two drive bays to larger rack mount units with 24 or more drive bays. At CES 2016, QNAP announced the TBS-453A M.2 SSD NAS. Along with M.2 SSDs, the TBS-453A contains a built in four port 1 gigabit switch. Initially, I was a little confused as to where this product would fit in. SSDs are more expensive than traditional mechanical hard drives and on top of it, M.2 SSDs tend to be slightly more expensive than 2.5″ drives. modders-inc.com
