It works very well for essential data storage such as security footage. It is well suited for remote office storage, but not so much as large database storage.

  • There are a lot of xclarity tools that need to be condensed.
  • I would like to see the old IMM interface return as the new management interface is not as easy to use.
  • Replacing some of the internal components is more involved than it used to be.

I much prefer the old x systems as I have worked with them for a while. The ds series is much faster and more reliable. Servicing it is simple but some internal components require more involvement.
