Pros: I was surprised how fast and easy it was to get this thing up and running. I installed my 2 " 2 TB WD Red hard drives", and had raid 1 configured with simple steps in minutes. After mapping the drives I transferred around 380 GB <200 minutes. One of the great things I like about this NAS, is that I can play HD videos after connecting my HDMI monitor to the NAS.

Cons: None so far...

Overall Review: I wasn't able to play my HD videos at first. So I contacted Thecus Tech support and they were very helpful. They told me to configure my DNS and install XBMC. Worked like a charm after that.

Pros: Installation process was easy. I had a RAID 5 built on the NAS and immediately started to back up my files. I was quite impress with the speeds I was getting. There is so many features to this NAS, that I am still learning how to use all of it.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this to anyone if they need a back up device for their files. The installation process was intuitive, and the transfer speeds were impressive.
