I used the DROBO for 15 years. I liked them as well. However, the company went out of business. I didn't know it until my DROBO stopped working. I bought this the beginning of 2024. it was so easy to configure, I have a desktop interface, I use file explorer, and the web interace is very useful too. I wish I knew about Synology before I bought the DROBO years ago. I would still have all the pictures and videos I lost because of DROBO. I give this 5 stars because I have never used Synology support for any reason. Now my friend bought one and is arriving today.
Synology NAS arrived early and was easy to set up. Operating without faults!!
Excellent solid hardware (2.5GB LAN, M.2 Storage for cashing, I/O Ports) at a great price. Installation of hardware (drives, etc.) done well. UGREEN NAS app make it simple and quick to get the unit up and running.
Decent price for the hardware, sleek design, upgradable RAM, software updates are frequent, drive bays are solid, can control fan speed for the CPU
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.
Easy to setup and configure
So easy to setup physically and soft. Enought apps for my needs (Streaming movies) With a WD red in it, was able to stream over Wi-Fi and copyng large files at the same time on it. Silent Robust construction No compatibility limitations compare to... tried to give Ugreen a try and I was really impressed.
I previously ordered this unit from a competitor of Newegg. UPS lost my package. After several days and UPS not finding my package I ordered a unit from Newegg. Before the new shipment arrived a neighbor knocked on the door and gave me my original package that UPS had left on their door step while they were out of town. I dont need two units so I used this original unit. 2 days later the Newegg package arrived. I explained the situation to them in an email and they graciously agreed to my return. And they paid return shipping! Im buying all my electronics from Newegg from now on!
I just followed instructions for the setup with my four HDDs of different sizes under SHR. Im getting over 100MBs file transfer rate over a single 1gbps network connection. No extra RAM and no cache SSD at this time. Very happy.
- Does everything advertised - Fast enough (with the right disk) to allow saturating the network connection
- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !
It was much faster than I expected, being my first NAS. Playing games off this thing in a SHR2 array, streaming from PC installed games, and also a Launchbox Retro collection works fine, and I have no issues.
It just works. And in the computer world thats a big win. Runs as fast as a local hard drive.
Very fast with link doubling. Easy to replace two of SATA 2.5/3.5" disks. Very convenient setup with four M2 NVMe memories. Multiple functionality and apps. Fast USB 3 connections for additional external disks. Very fast internal copy/move operations.
