-Incredibly reliable, I haven't had any significant downtime due to their hardware or software. -The tutorial and other resources are super useful for those starting out (this was my first dip into the Linux world) -They released videos on Youtube on how to switch OSes (amazing!) -Incredible value
Easy to install.
Easy to unbox, populate with NVME M.2 SSD cards, configure, add an external HD for scheduled backups and snapshots.
Already transferred my backups from my older NAS, now I can repartition my old NAS so that it sees the additional drive space that I added to it long ago, that it never saw, nor was my old NAS even capable of partition expansion.
Happy to have 6 gb total all working ; didnt want to take a risk to go above 6 gb that isnt on the compatibility list
-Stylish design -easy to access hard drives (no screws) -dual 2.5Gb ethernet ports -hard drives transfer at up to 300MB/s -NVMe slots -easy setup -RAM can be upgraded -HDMI port
Super Easy to Setup Speed Noise Level - Basically silent
Affordable. And works very well
As a long time and happy user of the Raidon External Raid storage units I decided to try the QNAP units when I needed more storage capacity. The QNAP DAS units are solidly built and are professionally finished. They look like high quality equipment. Installation of the hard disk drives requires minimal effort. I configured the unit for Raid 1 using the switches on the rear panel. Set up took a while for my pair of Seagate Ironwolf Raid Hard Disk Drives as was to be expected. So far the unit has been running flawlessly for a week. Being a Direct Attached Storage device, consolidation of my files spread across many HDDs, Thumb-drives and smaller external raid units will be easy. Looking forward to consolidating all my files, on one storage device, and ending the "Digital Clutter". Once the consolidation is completed the QNAP will be connected to a NAS so my files can be accessed from any devise regardless of where I'm at.
