Great feedback! Yes – as the interconnect gets faster and faster – then I too see a whole world of composable possibilities open up similar to the way RDMA opened up high-performance compute.

This was a great look at both options. I think NVMe-of, and with VMWares support of it, will also change how NAS solutions are able to be used in small and medium sized businesses, and how it wont just be a storage option, but move toward a composable architecture as well.

Note to the editor: Synology NAS devices (as featured) can actually be accessed as a local drive via iSCSI protocol. They also have the capability for block-level backups, integrate with virtualization, have their own hypervisor, and can integrate with fibre network environments with up to 20-40Gb. (via aggregated SFP+)

This article is more accurate if comparing consumer NAS models or devices from other manufacturers.
