BEST SELLERS

In Desktop NAS

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.

Perfect for me - just wanted a simple NAS for data backups. I plugged it in and in 1 minute it was booted and on-line taking on data. Didn't have to touch a thing. I didn't install the Navigator. The web-based settings interface is easy to use and everything it does seems to be perfectly clear. I did turn on the DLNA service - yes it instantly shows up as a source on my "smart" BluRay player.

Happy to have 6 gb total all working ; didnt want to take a risk to go above 6 gb that isnt on the compatibility list

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.

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

Love the easy setup and install

Easy setup, when knowing exactly what you need. Recommend adding RAM, any DDR4-sodimm. I used 3200 even though 2666 is recommended and it works. Great server for plex!

This is the 3rd Synology NAS that I have owned. This one has the AMD chip in it so it is also the fastest. The hardware itself is excellent, but what makes these products really shine is the apps produced by Synology. If you are going to use this for running virtual machines, I would recommend bumping the memory to at least 20 Gbytes.
