Absolutely a fabulous product along with their easy to understand setup videos and easy to use programs for doing just about anything a NAS can do. I set it up with 3 WD RED Plus 16TB drives in Raid 1 and it works great for my computer backups. The transfer rate seems to out pace my Samsung 1TB 970 Pro. It has 2 ethernet connections for more speed on the network. It works great for backing up all the computers on my network. And that is what I bought it for. Mostly for a bazillion travel pictures and videos my world traveling wife and I take every year.

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.

Makes a great media server

I'm a real novice when it comes to any type of networking but I found the machine setup simple enough for even me to understand. Over all, I'm pleased with the software and I'm able to do what I wanted to do on my local network..

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....

Useful for medical devices like CPAP.

It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.

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.

Was very easy and seamless to expand my 718+ Disk Station

QUIET, temps are good, running a unraid server.

Affordable. And works very well

- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !

Cheap(er) then the other nicer rails

- Lots of PCIe lanes - True x16 PCIe slot that can bifurcate to x4x4x4x4 - True x4 Slot - And a x1 Slot - Two M.2 slots that do not interfere with any other component

6 PCI-e Gen 4 slots that are always x16/x16 (The 7th may have fewer or be disabled entirely depending on how you configure other options) Technical support was excellent. William replied quickly and kept replying quickly until my issue was resolved. IPMI for remote administration. 2 x 10 gigabit ethernet ports may potentially free up a PCIe slot depending on your needs. Supports "Above 4G Decoding". This feature might be common now, but its absence will prevent motherboards from being able to use some Data Center GPUs.

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)
