- Easy setup - DSM is great and intuitive - Good value compared to more expensive 4+ bay options - Powerful enough for Plex and online photo archive
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.
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..

Was very easy and seamless to expand my 718+ Disk Station
- 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 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?
It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
