- This is a very small and quiet NAS. - Plenty of power to handle our needs - There are some very good tutorials on YouTube that I used to walk me through setting up the NAS.
- The device arrived very well packaged and no parts were missing. - Installation of the 3.5" disk drives was a 'snap' (literally) using the included mounting hardware. - When running, with 3 bays populated, the noise was less than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise. - The installation of the TOS software was simplified by a well presented set of instructions on the TerraMaster web site. I chose to go with the default configuration and after the disks were initialized and synchronized the system was up and running smoothly. - I had no problems accessing the storage from any of my computers.
I haven't set-up or used this item yet Newegg Order process was very easy and shipping took only 3 days to send to my address in California - received item a few days earlier than estimated
Very sleek and sturdy design. Supports 3.5" and 2.5" drives with no adapter needed (Huge Pro for me) Quiet (Talk about quiet...) The design on the drive trays with included rubber vibration dameners is amazing. Can't hear the 4 7200 RPM drives at all. Fans are also super quiet. Now, let's talk about the software. This thing has more features built in to it, just straight out of the box, than any other consumer grade NAS I have worked with. I thought WD NAS's were great.... Honestly, the options in this one is WAAAYY better. If you are on the fence about buying one of these, jump down and go buy it. I have worked with NAS's like NetApp and the like, and this is probably one of the best consumer grade products that I have seen. I am definitely sold on these products and plan to buy the expansion modules for this ASAP and fill em with drives....
Easy setup good backups Very fast transfer speeds Just as easy on Linux as Windows
