Small size. Easy to plug-in sockets handled all my devices. Great price for my home system. Good job, APC.

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


As a long time and happy user of the Raidon External Raid storage units I decided to try the QNAP units when I needed more storage capacity. The QNAP DAS units are solidly built and are professionally finished. They look like high quality equipment. Installation of the hard disk drives requires minimal effort. I configured the unit for Raid 1 using the switches on the rear panel. Set up took a while for my pair of Seagate Ironwolf Raid Hard Disk Drives as was to be expected. So far the unit has been running flawlessly for a week. Being a Direct Attached Storage device, consolidation of my files spread across many HDDs, Thumb-drives and smaller external raid units will be easy. Looking forward to consolidating all my files, on one storage device, and ending the "Digital Clutter". Once the consolidation is completed the QNAP will be connected to a NAS so my files can be accessed from any devise regardless of where I'm at.

Plenty of outlets Slide covers for outlets that aren't in use Plenty of plugs for DC converters (blockish-brick plugs)

It's really easy to work worth

All the features you could ever want. Has sensors for days! HTML5 WebUI for Remote Console to your OS!


- CPU comes preinstalled - Plenty of PCI slots - Stable under load - Remote management interface


96Gb of vram and energy efficient

Small, sturdy design Nice looking face plate


Well packed manufacturer packaging. Very clear multi-lingual user manual that is well worth the time reading the few pages in your chosen language. Very clear warning markers attached to UPS. Very difficult to install and use this unit without seeing the warning marker to connect the internal batteries. Silent operation; it does not have any fans on/in it that I can tell. Novel "master slave" outlet pairing. Lose power to the "master" device and the "slave" device turns off immediately. The manual tells me this feature is disabled by default, but read the user manual carefully to fully understand it's operation.

Packaged great and DVD is spotless and worked perfectly.

As of DSM 7.3 you can now use any name brand drive again. I tested with my old 4 TB Seagate Red drives and no issues.

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.
