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

gobbs of storage space, small footprint, comes with everything you need to set up

Very easy to instal and configure raid, had it running in 15 min.

I own a much older NAS, but it is very slow and did not support Apple Time Machine. In comparison, drive access to the Buffalo NAS is much quicker. I like the space limits by User & Group account and the Cloud access is a nice feature too.



Unit comes with 8 mb of RAM. Upgrading to 32 was easy and allowed use of the more advanced QTS Hero software.

This QNAP runs quickly and quietly. The VM is Microsoft Server 2019, and it is very fast. I have it configured to boot off of a RAID-1 SSD drive array, and the AMD Ryzen processor is very fast. Adding RAM and the SSD drives was EASY. Very nice design on the case, easy access 3 screws and that was it. I added five 16-TB drives in RAID-5, and it is used as a Veeam Offsite Repository target server.


Good product with lots of options for home storage use. Simple interface and fast.

Easy to setup and configure


I was impressed with how the unit was packaged, the included accessories and the unit's design. UGREEN'S attention to details is top notch. I easily installed both of my drives on the unit's HDD rails, slid them in and booted up. I opted for a local configuration only (no UGREEN ID or web access) over LAN. UGOS is minimal but effective: configuration, diagnostics, basic apps, user management, etc. I also installed the UGREEN NAS app on my iPhone, which also works good.

This is my second DS1621+ (backs up my first) and they work really well. I only use them to backup my PC files from 6 active computers in my household, so I'm not really hammering the drives with media server or plex server functions. For me the Synology NAS's are the bext. I'm also running 4 Drobos as a third backup and, whilst the drobos are much simpler to setup, I much prefer the Synologies.


-Very efficient -Sleek -Quiet -Powerful




- Easier than I expected to setup; - smaller than I expected, which is great!; - quieter than I expected! Overall Im surprised with the quality, ease of use and speed.
