Pros: * it's quiet. The only noise I can hear is from the HDD. * it doesn't run hot. The highest temperature I felt was "slightly warm" when I copied terabytes of data into the new NAS. * the LED indicator can be dimmed or turned off. * it took me five minutes to set up, though many more hours to copy data and fine-tune the system. * the two gigabit ports really help reduce congestion when everyone is using the NAS. * I don't use the transcoding function, but playing 4K video in my PC using Kodi is very smooth. * personal cloud service is great.
Cons: * there's no support from PLEX yet (as of Nov. 2017) as PLEX is still developing its ARM v8 support.
