Very good product, but for experienced amateurs
I've ordered and received it within 48 hours.
I've been using it for a while now and it's great.
I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the quality of the service. The brackets are made of plastic, and screws are provided. Be careful, they are not the same if your HDDs are 3.5 or 2.5, and nothing is indicated on the bags. do not force! For my part, I opted for 2 x WD Red 4TB 3.5".
Installation of the QFinderPro management software. NAS connected to my box (SFR 8), recognized immediately, auto firmware upgrade. Wifi optional via PCI card. Same for the SSD buffer. Impossible to do WIFI + SSD, there is only one slot.
For the configuration of the NAS, it is nevertheless necessary to be an informed public. The base is to know what a RAID is, because the explanation in the software, it is still not within the reach of all. That said, we configure step by step, we are guided, but, personally, the basic concepts are not really explained. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use this as an example.
NAS installed and seen from the network quite quickly. I'm not sure how to use it, but it's a good idea to use it as a web server, a multimedia device (1 HDMI port) and a lot of other things that I don't know about.
For my part, my use will only be for PC's backup. The QNAP NetBack Replicator backup app is a little disappointing, you can only backup entire folders or disks, but not "system" backups. The software is very very slow, and poor compared to other applications such as Acronis or AOEMI, solutions that I am currently testing (NAS recognized without any problem by these applications).
Note that the start-up time is quite long, about 5 minutes. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same device for all the other devices.
The balance is very positive. I do not regret my purchase.
