DDR5 gives on-die error correction Extra bays give cache options Compatible RAM upgrades TrueNAS compatibility



Unit comes with 8 mb of RAM. Upgrading to 32 was easy and allowed use of the more advanced QTS Hero software.



Easy to configure. The item arrived in Raid 1 (Mirrored) so it was only 1800GB available space. This is a backup device, so I needed Raid 0 (stripped) for full size. It was really easy to change Raid types, set up my shared folders and stsslyart the copies. 1.4 TB later and it's already beginning to fill to where it will live it's life. Firmware upgrade was a snap also. Everything worked flawlessly.

-Very efficient -Sleek -Quiet -Powerful


Very easy to set up (automatic wizard or 'manual') Very easy to install physical drive (no screws) Lightening fast


Pros are the device can run truenas just fine and with raidz1 saturate my modest 1gbps network. It cools the drives fine which are old crusty(hot) dell constellation enterprise drives. You can set the fan in the bios to a constant speed since truenas doesnt do that and at about 50-60% is all you need since the cpu is passively cooled and is low power anyway. 3 nvme slots is great also and makes this so easy to fill up with storage! Case is also easy to get apart to install the nvme drives.

Easy to setup. Nice UI. Aesthetically pleasing unit. 2.5 gig NIC. Not much taller than the drives themselves.

Great unit
