Hi there,
I have a QNAP TVS-671, upgraded to 16GB and the CPU to i7-4790s with 6 x 4tb WD RED's . I use it for PLEX currently but i now want to run a couple of VM's so i can run my Trading algos. I tried creating a VM with250gb disk, 4GB ram and 2 cores and running CTrader but found it all abit sluggish even though i never saw it saw it using more than 45% of the memory and CPU' allocated so not sure why. I am thinking of now upgrading maybe going to a 4bay but with larger 8tb or 10tb drives,..... any suggestions on an upgrade path ?,.. i am unsure how old the i7 ia m suing is considered or what performance i would see with the newer cpus ?. I dont really want to be paying over £1000 either but maybe something with M.2's would help ?
Any help would be appreciated.
