Reasonable speed,quiet,has a on/off switch on it



- 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.




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.



Very easy to set up (automatic wizard or 'manual') Very easy to install physical drive (no screws) Lightening fast
