  • You could do better..
Style: 4-bay Size: NAS
If you are looking at this you are looking for mass storage for pictures, videos, or anything that you need to store. However it’s a bit too expensive in my opinion, if you build your own computers you can totally do better than this. The underpowered CPU and 1gb of ram is unacceptable for 2021. If you have multiple people accessing this it will get slow quick. However since it’s mostly just me accessing this NAS, it’s perfectly fine, even two or three people can access at the same time and still be ok. However if you have the technical know how to build your own NAS, I would take that every time. I’m giving this four stars because it didn’t seem hyped in the description and it does what I need it to do, I just want people to make an informed decision before purchasing. ... show more

  • Overall... what I expected. Great product.

  • Works great
Style: 4-bay Size: NAS + 4TB Seagate Drives
I have very little to no experience with a NAS. The company I work for uses one and I have access to it is the only experience. They use Synology. I was able to get this thing going with no help in a few hours. It is a little slow with heavy use but light use it seems do do great. I would highly recommend it if you have little to no experience with a NAS. ... show more

  • Very nice unit, should be considered when making comparisons
Style: 2-bay Size: NAS
I love the design but the software was very confusion. Tech support did the best they could there are still issue they cannot or do not want to address. There are about 20 application to do various task, and speed is good, the setup is just not as simple as they sell it. I am an it guy new to NAS and I will tell you that before you purchase read about the requirements and on file systems, permissions and storage plan ... show more

  • Great for what I'm using it for.
Style: 2-bay Size: NAS
I use it to make the 220000 photos our family has and a home based cloud available to my family. Great for that. I'm using 2 8TB drives in a RAID 1 configuration.

  • Extremely slow CPU and response, incompetent customer service and no skills of software maintainers
Style: 4-bay Size: NAS
(Revised and lowered the score due to continuous instability and extremely slow response after upgrade to latest reboot.) Strangely enough there was a YouTube review by some self proclaimed expert on the NAS systems, who assured the audience that while Synology is more about apps, QNAP is about stable HW and software. Don't believe any such hogwash. QNAP NAS in general has a bunch of very inexperienced HW designers, who chose a CPU by an Amazon subsidiary, which claims it is superior to most of the NAS CPUs out there. NOT TRUE AT ALL! Annapurna CPUs are NOT for this purpose and it is a bad choice with very response time. On top of this QNAP seems to have issues creating proper embedded SW image. The boot time is ridiculous -- over 2 and a half minutes. Why? What is taking so long? This is the slowest booting system I have ever seen. Even MS Windows does not take that long on a slow HW with low memory and bad, slow HDD. Linux based system, even embedded (like on a NAS or a home router) boots much, much quicker than that. Synology NAD for example boots in less than 30 sec. Regardless of the device model. While python is a great language, QNAP does not have competent programmers. The processes sometimes fork so many instances with quite a lot of overhead, that the OS is overwhelmed with the Python interpreter, running hundreds (yes hundreds) processes, which it keeps piling and does not respond, at which point I have to hold the Power button for > 10 seconds and downgrade to a stable SW version, which is released about 2-3 months ago. This happened to me twice with two separate builds (FW updates). What a sloppy and incompetent job. With latest FW version I was able to stabilize the runtime state, but I had to go into the console and kill all spawned Python processes by hand, which took me a while, since the system was very slow to respond. Once I killed the processes it returned to its quiet state with the stable previously mentioned firmware. Alter all this when I filed a ticket and a rep asked me to give him access to MY DATA. Yes, they would ask you to use TeamViewer and expose all your work and data to a customer service rep. RRRRIIIGGGHHTT!!! I did not believe what I am hearing. Really, wanna see my data? How dare you ask such a privacy violation action? Apparently QNAP does not have privacy policy and does not respect any such out there at all. Last thing was really unbelievable. Instead of asking for logs, diagnostics data, the rep said they cannot help me diagnose myself and and I have to wait for their new release. I would like to challenge the competency of the SMEs in QNAP from HW designers, software integrator and developers to CSRs. I am wondering who is running this company and how did they get so many nice reviews? Is there something fishy going on? ... show more

  • 4th QNAP, very happy customer
Style: 4-bay Size: NAS
As a power user with 10+ terabytes of data I need to hoard, good storage at a home user price is tough to find. This is my 4th qnap, which is now serving as a backup for my TS-963x. Absolutely recommend it, it is light years beyond a standard 1 or 2 bay consumer grade NAS. Having integrated hybrid backup is huge, it seamlessly backs up to idrive. ... show more

  • Excellent network storage
Style: 4-bay Size: NAS
I bought two of these for movie storage. That makes four QNAP NAS drives that I have. I really appreciate the "Qfinder Pro" app on my desktop which makes it real easy to access and configure these devices.
