- Well packaged and worked perfectly - Easy to setup - Added some really nice WD 2TB Red Pros NAS drives - Joined to AD domain with no issue
Overall, no complaints here about the unit, the software, the packaging, etc. To be very honest, I'm new to having a NAS device, never had one before, though I wished I could've been able to do so earlier. That out of the way, the DS224+ was super simple to set up and get going, right out of the box. I had chosen to skimp a little bit on the drives I am using initally, WD Red Plus drives, 2x 8TB, instead of the WD Red Pro drives of the same capacity, as my budget was fairly tight. As an aside, I found this unit a few dollars cheaper here than on some other competitors sites, and have had nothing but good experiences with NewEgg over the past fifteen years or so, so I bought it here. To say the shipping experience was also good might be an understatement, it was early, and packaged well.
- (still) powerful CPU with hardware video processing - upgradeable RAM - SSD cache/storage pool option
- Fast - Simple - Work A1
- Super easy to upgrade from a smaller Diskstation - Easy to add more capacity
It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.
- Intel Celeron so you can use Plex with this - This version now as 4gb sodimm ram (I easily upgraded to 8gb) - 2.5gbe speed, works great - 2 m.2 gen3 slot - 1 pcie slot so you can add 10 gbe card - 2 usb 2.0 and 2 usb 3.2 (10 Gbps!).
I was able to replace 2 Raspberry Pi's and a repurposed older desktop with a single compact machine that is SO much easier to maintain. Why did I wait this long?
Good Interface, stable product, great price, good online Video training, easy to setup for basic functions, easy to link to vie home network, TV connections. Quite and good power management.
I previously ordered this unit from a competitor of Newegg. UPS lost my package. After several days and UPS not finding my package I ordered a unit from Newegg. Before the new shipment arrived a neighbor knocked on the door and gave me my original package that UPS had left on their door step while they were out of town. I dont need two units so I used this original unit. 2 days later the Newegg package arrived. I explained the situation to them in an email and they graciously agreed to my return. And they paid return shipping! Im buying all my electronics from Newegg from now on!
- Fast shipment and well packaged. This card works well with OSX Mojave using OpenIntelWireless. And bluetooth works as well.
Affordable. And works very well
Works well
- Easy to install - Worked pretty much out of box (After reinstall of the regular Intel WI-FI Driver) - Noticed an improvement in WI-FI performance immediately - Bluetooth also worked pretty much right of the box as well
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)
-My provider delivers 447mbps at my router. I was struggling to get all that using 5GHz ax 160MHz wide. With 6GHz, out of the box without changing any setting, i have every bite per second I am paying for. -I dont have a super strong signal considering the router is 2 rooms away, but i still manage to more than gigabit downlink, this makes gigabit ethernet interface obsolete. -Straight forward guided configuration steps.
Automatically works in windows 11, works well
I like the way it is set up like a business class switch. It isn't managed, but it has all of the ports and status info on the front, with only the power cable going out the back. I like this more than the typical leds on the front, everything else on the back switches. This switch worked in my odd network configuration. I had previously purchased a cheaper rosewill 4 port switch that did not preform well enough in my network and had to be removed
