On March 26, 2024, Polar Space officially announced that users with X86 architecture dual-network port models have begun to upgrade to push bridge mode, that is, switch mode. Polar Space NAS models are generally equipped with 2.5G network ports, and the Polar Space Z423 flagship version is equipped with a 10 Gigabit network port, but the home LAN is still limited by the Gigabit network, and the fastest transmission speed under normal circumstances is 1G.
Now, users who use Z423, Z4Pro, Z4S, and Z4 models only need to set up the switch mode in the private cloud to achieve a secure and stable 10 Gigabit network speed at zero cost.
Next, take the Z423 Ultimate Edition as an example to explain how to set the switch mode. Polar Space Z423 has 2 network ports, one is 1G, and the other is 10G. The user first needs to switch the Polar Space network mode to [Bridge Mode (applicable to virtual switches)], the specific steps are as follows: open the Polar Space APP, open [System Settings] -- [Network-related Settings], click "Mode Switching", switch to "Bridge Mode (applicable to virtual switches)", and then click OK, and the operation of the Polar Space client is completed. Then, the user connects the 1G network port to the router, and the other 10G network port connects the computer 10 Gigabit network port, so that the switch mode can be set up, without additional time and money costs, the computer can enjoy the 10 Gigabit network for free when accessing the extreme space, and can enjoy the Gigabit Internet while squeezing out the SSD speed to the maximum, and the two do not delay each other. Other models such as Z4Pro, Z4S and Z4 can easily reach 300+ MB/s with a single network port after using switch mode.
In the past, if you want to improve the network speed, NAS users need to buy high, large and wide switches and routers separately, and the purchase cost alone is hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan, which not only wastes money but also wastes the dual network ports that Polar Space originally brings; the second province is a provincial place, and only one network cable can be connected to the computer and the polar space; the third province is worry-free, although the process of building a virtual machine has been simplified as much as possible, but the construction effort is necessary, and with the switch mode, users can easily realize the 10 Gigabit network, and take into account the needs of normal access to the Internet, which is undoubtedly more convenient and efficient.
Extreme Space always pursues continuous updates and upgrades in hardware configuration and software functions, presenting the best side to the public, and Extreme Space does not stop there, but maintains a humble and hard-working attitude, always walks in the forefront of research and development in the NAS industry, and continues to bring better and more practical private cloud products to the majority of users.
