Easy to upgrade memory took sodimm ddr4 3200 16 gig. Qnap went to soldered on memory on new machines suppossedly due to a ram shortage so now you can not upgrade their ram so this was a HUGE no no for me. I was a Qnap lover, but a friend has a older version of this and I thought i'd give em a try. Software looks almost identical to a Qnap so was easy for me to get in and go. 2x2.5 gb networking. it does transfer very quickly. 4X Gen 3 m.2 (NOTE THESE GET HOT). I used heat sinks for all 4 and have had zero problems. It's worth a few bucks to toss heat sinks on em. if your only going to cache boost with em get small cheapies they run much cooler. Took a few tries to get the setup I wanted with my raid and SSD caching. This was a neck and neck with Qnap ts464. its cheaper and does the same stuff, but you can upgrade the ram. I have both this and the Qnap ts464 this is my favorite. This thing for Plex is a beast! transcodes multiple streams like a champ.


Good product with lots of options for home storage use. Simple interface and fast.

Easy to unbox, populate with NVME M.2 SSD cards, configure, add an external HD for scheduled backups and snapshots.

Quick to set up and get running. Web app for mobile devices makes file access easy while on the go!

This QNAP runs quickly and quietly. The VM is Microsoft Server 2019, and it is very fast. I have it configured to boot off of a RAID-1 SSD drive array, and the AMD Ryzen processor is very fast. Adding RAM and the SSD drives was EASY. Very nice design on the case, easy access 3 screws and that was it. I added five 16-TB drives in RAID-5, and it is used as a Veeam Offsite Repository target server.

I needed a network drive to share files and programs on the network. Very affordable and really easy to install. All computers have access.

Already transferred my backups from my older NAS, now I can repartition my old NAS so that it sees the additional drive space that I added to it long ago, that it never saw, nor was my old NAS even capable of partition expansion.
