Where's that unlike button?

QNAP TS-420 Diskless System Network Storage
QNAP TS-420 Diskless System Network Storage

Pros: Relatively inexpensive; quality hardware

Cons: "easy to setup" Yeah; um not even a little bit Right at the start it makes you download firmware which I'm sure is OK for 'most' people but 2 hours later maxing out my cell I finally got to the desktop It has a nice feature to plug a HD into the front and you can configure it to import or export to the drive automatically which is nice; but it's a PITA to setup and it creates a folder and imports the entire drive into that single folder completely disregarding the hierarchy on the drive making that feature completely useless to me The Mac support/time machine is pretty atrocious When I got it to work on AFP the AFP share didn't show any of the files that did show on SMB Time machine works after you use the finder's 'connect to' feature but connecting directly by clicking on network is spotty at best I get lots of delays and failed transfers on AFP *and* FTP For the money I'd much rather have a DAS This one is going back for a synology

Overall Review: I'm using it with 80211ac and gigabit ethernet and it's not exactly responsive in the interface
