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.



Easy setup good backups Very fast transfer speeds Just as easy on Linux as Windows

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.

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.



2.5Gb Network with 2 Nics. Easy to add drives, mine 3 drives are 5600RPM IronCore in a RAID 5. I also have 2 Teamgroup 1TB sticks for an SSD cache. My network switch is a 2.5Gbps non-managed. 2 ports for NAS and 2 ports for 2 XPS PCs. I am getting 4Gbps when doing 2 Diskmark tests simultaneously to my NAS hosted USB (2TB QVO). Im gettin a little better than 2Gbps when communicating to the RAID 5 array. I feel pretty confident that 7200RPM drives in a 4 Disk array would perform more optimal.

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



Affordable. And works very well


You're good! With some Exos drives, that can handle 240+MB/s each, fill it up, and you'll see some pretty great speeds from this NAS. (If you buy the 10g NIC.) Granted, I bought the 10g NIC for it. But, it only comes with 4GB RAM... I've got another 16g on the way. I've P2V'd both of my computers onto the NAS before wiping them clean, and starting fresh. (Physical to virtual.) The NAS is very slow to run a single VM on 4GB of RAM. But, it works! Didn't get the VM network set up yet, so I just plugged in a USB drive into my NAS, and connected it to the VM. Copy the data, and use the USB drive to copy back and forth.


i was looking for a new Plex server for full 4k HD remux HEVC mkv files. This is it!!! Play files without issue using LG tv plex app. If youre looking for a new Plex server you wont regret this purchase.

DDR5 gives on-die error correction Extra bays give cache options Compatible RAM upgrades TrueNAS compatibility

Easy to set-up Easy to be used by any devices Easily support 6 users ( 4 iphones + 2 android + 5 window laptop + 2 macosx + 2 fire tv) backup and streaming)
