Pros: -Budget friendly -Easy setup
Cons: -Has a "quick install guide" but shows nothing on which screws are meant for the drives versus enclosure -CPU has no backbone so if you're setting up a media server, it will not be able to transcode videos without help
Overall Review: I bought this as my first NAS, largely to serve as a Plex server but also to use as a centralized network storage for all devices on my network. Starting from the unboxing, it was packaged very well however you only get a quick install guide which shows you how to open, install the drives and how to plug it in. No specifics on what screws to use and where (3 different types with more than you need), so that was trial and error on my part. Once physically set up, installing DSM (Disk Station Manager) and any extras, such as Plex, was very easy. I plugged in my external HDD directly to the NAS and copied over all of my media and files. Since then, I've been having trouble with the server transcoding videos when I play them. I've realized that if you're client-side device does not have a CPU powerful enough, it will solely rely on the NAS to do all of the transcoding. So devices such as Roku just will throw a message saying the NAS CPU isn't powerful enough to play the video. If I use devices such as a computer, tablet, phone or Xbox, it plays just fine with no issues and no considerable increase in NAS CPU usage (was hovering around 20%). The bottom line here is that this NAS will serve it's purpose and may serve you well BUT that depends on your intended use, and for me that means I'll have to tell my friends who I've shared my Plex server with that they have to use devices that have some "power" in them.
