Quick and easy install Converts M.2 for usage for Synology without NVME slots.
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.
This is an amazing little NAS. I bought it because you can install two M.2 drives on top of the four hard drives. It was easy to set up, and I was able to get almost everything set up in an hour. I'm still trying to figure out how to connect this directly to my Dell server for backups. I installed four 12TB drives, and it configured the RAID 10 by the next day. Much faster than I thought it would have been.
Ease of setup (read the instructions unlike I did!!)
After trying to price out a DIY NAS solution and adding in the value of my own time, this all-in-one box still comes out on top. Life's just too short.
Synology NAS arrived early and was easy to set up. Operating without faults!!
