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.

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

Affordable. And works very well


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.



- Rackmount - Minimal dept (works with shallow racks) - Good cooling - Possibility of 2 PSU - Possibility of extra disks units *. - SSH is available for advanced system admin**. *Read well on Synology website if you are planning to use it. ** DSM is NOT a regular linux release, so make SURE you know what you are doing. Refer to the documentation and community forum to learn more.

- 10GB works well - cache drives work well


- Easier than I expected to setup; - smaller than I expected, which is great!; - quieter than I expected! Overall Im surprised with the quality, ease of use and speed.

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

Easy setup, when knowing exactly what you need. Recommend adding RAM, any DDR4-sodimm. I used 3200 even though 2666 is recommended and it works. Great server for plex!

I haven't set-up or used this item yet Newegg Order process was very easy and shipping took only 3 days to send to my address in California - received item a few days earlier than estimated

This was supper easy to set up!!
