Works seamlessly to plug in old drives and keep moving forward.

I bought this one to replace another that has seen better days,, and it was as easy as to just insert the old disks and turn it on.... it recognize the disk as synology drives and reconfigure itself.. no problem at all

So easy to setup physically and soft. Enought apps for my needs (Streaming movies) With a WD red in it, was able to stream over Wi-Fi and copyng large files at the same time on it. Silent Robust construction No compatibility limitations compare to... tried to give Ugreen a try and I was really impressed.

Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU


easy to set up

Works as expected

much quicker nas than my ds223 have the option to have a warm spare quiet

It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.

As of DSM 7.3 you can now use any name brand drive again. I tested with my old 4 TB Seagate Red drives and no issues.

I buy this NAS for the 2.5 LAN .. I haven't fully tested it yet... but I want to say that the packaging and delivery were EXCELLENT.

Best NAS OS DSM 7.3, user friendly, robust, slick. Can use any HDD brand with DSM 7.3. Support RAID and SHR.

Super fast with 10G, 2.5G and 10 bay. Sodimm ram is installable. I added 8GB sodimm ram(ADATA) Very quiet. Small in size but excellent in performance

Good Interface, stable product, great price, good online Video training, easy to setup for basic functions, easy to link to vie home network, TV connections. Quite and good power management.

- 10GB works well - cache drives work well


Easy to upgrade memory took sodimm ddr4 3200 16 gig. Qnap went to soldered on memory on new machines suppossedly due to a ram shortage so now you can not upgrade their ram so this was a HUGE no no for me. I was a Qnap lover, but a friend has a older version of this and I thought i'd give em a try. Software looks almost identical to a Qnap so was easy for me to get in and go. 2x2.5 gb networking. it does transfer very quickly. 4X Gen 3 m.2 (NOTE THESE GET HOT). I used heat sinks for all 4 and have had zero problems. It's worth a few bucks to toss heat sinks on em. if your only going to cache boost with em get small cheapies they run much cooler. Took a few tries to get the setup I wanted with my raid and SSD caching. This was a neck and neck with Qnap ts464. its cheaper and does the same stuff, but you can upgrade the ram. I have both this and the Qnap ts464 this is my favorite. This thing for Plex is a beast! transcodes multiple streams like a champ.

- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !


I have three older hard drives just sitting around, I put them in and have been testing them to see how this unit would react, so far not one hiccup. I'm going to add four Seagate IronWolf Pro ST10000NE0004 10TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drives later this week. If all goes well, later I'll add my second TR-004 to my TS-253Be. (according from Qnap Two TR-004 is the max you can add to compatible Qnap Nas systems)
