- Very nice construction. - As already mentioned, they are Ball Bearings.- Very simple to put together.(Guide included with pictures)- Universal and easily adjustable.

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.

Easy to set up and hundreds of YouTube videos that are helpful. Waiting on the last 4 of 6 drives that populated that NAS. Then a couple of M.2s and some more memory and the build will be complete. Very versatile and expandable.


Ease of setup (read the instructions unlike I did!!)

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.


Durable, Affordable, Easy to install!


- Solid construction - More drives! - Satisfaction of getting the thing installed feels good






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.
