BEST SELLERS

In Network Attached Storage (NAS)

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.

- Well packaged and worked perfectly - Easy to setup - Added some really nice WD 2TB Red Pros NAS drives - Joined to AD domain with no issue

- (still) powerful CPU with hardware video processing - upgradeable RAM - SSD cache/storage pool option

I upgraded from a DS416. Setting up the DS1821+ was really easy since I had already set up a Synology years before. That being said, I do remember the DS416 had a steep learning curve (for me, anyway). I was concerned about the drive compatibility issue so many people have complained about. I am happy to say that this NAS took every piece of garbage disk that I put it in... Everything from a new 20Tb Seagate Ironwolf Pro to decade or older disks as small at 250 Gb (eh, it was just laying around so why not).

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

- Works well with a lot of hard drive brands, unlike a certain popular NAS manufacturer - Generous specifications; again, unlike a certain popular NAS manufacturer
