Professional reviewers praise the T12-500 Pro for its desktop-class i7 processor, dual 10 GbE connectivity, and flexible TRAID system, noting enterprise-level performance at a competitive price, while calling out the lack of redundant power and plastic drive trays.

Professional reviewers commend the T9-500 Pro for its high-end Intel i7 processor, dual 10 GbE ports, and metal chassis, noting enterprise-level performance, while pointing out the diskless nature and less mature TOS 6 UI.
