Overall Review: DISCLAIMER - I have a QNAP TVS-863+ 16GB with QM2-2P10G1T 10Gbe expansion with Samsung 970 EVO 256GB as cache. 2 RAID groups, (1) 8TBx4 and (1) 4TBx4. I got this as a Christmas present for my son-in-law. I have a lot of experience with storage subsystems and found that this unit has some really great hardware for the $200 I snagged it for on sale. I set this up with the manufacturer's OS, TOS, and it left so much to be desired. Honestly, there just weren't very many apps and the one that I really wanted to configure (Plex) wouldn't even come up. I tried multiple ways of reinstalling Plex but it just never would work. I finally got tired of it and tore the unit apart & jerked out the internal USB boot drive. I replaced it with a Samsung iFIT drive loaded with XPEnology for a DS3617xs. If you choose to go this route, there are a few things you need to know: 1 - XPEnology is not supported except by the community of users & developers who maintain it. 2 - You will (almost) always be running at least one revision behind the official Synology OS (DSM). ie - I'm running 6.1.7.15284 on the Terramaster, but the newest build for a Synology is 6.2 3 - Most of the tutorials online are for the F2-220, not the F4-220. The F2-220 uses the image of a Synology DS3615xs but that image won't work on the F4-220. It requires the Synology DS3617xs image. 4 - I haven't tested all of the features, but Plex runs incredibly smooth on this and the OpenVPN client works perfectly. 5 - The absolute plethora of apps written for Synology makes this a no-brainer 6 - Keep that USB stick that has TOS on it just in case you ever want to revert back 7 - RAID SETS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE! If you decide to switch OS's, you're going to have to reinitialize the drives and lose all of your data. A NAS is not a replacement for backups! I know what a "real NAS" is like and this little box really is a delight with the right OS on it. I might just get one for myself!
