There will be more to choose among Qnap models. But Synology DS1618+ or DS3018xs will be the closest you can get to 10Gbe (with upgrade cards). TS672XT or TS672N (with 10GbE card) would be a good high-performance NAS allowing you to install pfSense (https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/tutorial/...-nas/).You can create several volumes and accordingly shared folders on them. Afterward, you can limit access rights to a shared folder you want (therefore limiting user access to only one volume). Here is how (https://docs.qnap.com/nas/4.2/SMB/en/ind...rs.htm)You can also create ISCI disks with the same effect (allowing only one user for the entire volume or fraction of it). A bit more info here: https://www.qnap.com/en-au/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-create-and-use-the-iscsi-target-service-on-a-qnap-nas/People choose SHR options if they have only a half-filled box. This allows them to add different size drives without losing storage space. RAID5 would see all drives as big as the smallest one.Apart from that, there is no difference.I hope this helps.
