This was supper easy to set up!!

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

Easy to unbox, populate with NVME M.2 SSD cards, configure, add an external HD for scheduled backups and snapshots.

- M.2SSD and 10GBE in one card - Performance - Ease of installation - Heat sink


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.

Versatile unit, can do file server, print server, mail server, VPN server, web server, and much more Easy to get up and running

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.

This is an amazing little NAS. I bought it because you can install two M.2 drives on top of the four hard drives. It was easy to set up, and I was able to get almost everything set up in an hour. I'm still trying to figure out how to connect this directly to my Dell server for backups. I installed four 12TB drives, and it configured the RAID 10 by the next day. Much faster than I thought it would have been.



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



Great unit

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




Synology NAS arrived early and was easy to set up. Operating without faults!!
