As of DSM 7.3 you can now use any name brand drive again. I tested with my old 4 TB Seagate Red drives and no issues.

We have a tankless water heater which is gas driven but has electronic components thus will not work when the power is out. I needed something that would keep the tankless water heater working. Have not had to use it for real but did a test and was able to run a hot shower for 30 minutes and still only used 2/5 of the battery capacity. This unit is reasonably priced for what I needed. I like that I can replace the battery when needed in a few years without having to purchase an entire unit.

much quicker nas than my ds223 have the option to have a warm spare quiet



Worry free, just plug and play.


I buy this NAS for the 2.5 LAN .. I haven't fully tested it yet... but I want to say that the packaging and delivery were EXCELLENT.

Best NAS OS DSM 7.3, user friendly, robust, slick. Can use any HDD brand with DSM 7.3. Support RAID and SHR.



This was supper easy to set up!!

- Great packaging, fast delivery.

Seems to do everything it's supposed to. We've had a couple storms with power outages (including a hurricane) and no problems ensued. The plugs are pretty well designed, and the look is pretty clean.

The switch has a very heavy and quality feel to it. POE+ works great with my cameras, and wireless access points.


The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.
