Review: A Challenge But Worth the Effort - I got tired of my home network music access working when it felt like it, so looked into using a NAS and chose this QNAP model after reading reviews. I have some IT experience but no longer work in it so this was admittedly a tad complicated, but I also admit I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like asking for directions when I'm lost. I realized at the mid-point I was complicating things by *not* stopping and making sure the home network access was solid before worrying about the online cloud part of things. The unit itself is not large and the process of adding either size SATA drives was easy. On a desk shelf, it is a bit noisy as you can hear a bit of hum and vibration when the hard drive or drives are spinning. The power cable is a tad short in my humble opinion. You start by installing a "Q-Finder" app on your computer attached to the same network, and step-by-step the software walks you through assigning an admin login and setup on your LAN. Once you wade into the out-of-home access arena is where I had problems, but when I realized I didn't want that, the rest fell into place. There are tweaks you make with the QNAP *and* the devices you want to use to access the files to get it all to work. Go slow and careful and use the Help and online searches and it comes together. Your phone, tablet or other device will need to login the first time with your admin name and password to see and play the files but once you are thru that hoop the fun begins. This QNAP plays MP3s more quickly and without any hiccups than several server apps I used for years on Windows. The QNAP has it's own processor and RAM so it is way faster producing file lists and starting playback. The user interface on the computer is quite nice too. Between the cost of the QNAP and a nice fast 3.5" 2TB hard drive I had $300 invested but I am happy with the results. I didn't have to contact tech support so that was a win. I could also enable an external drive connected by USB for access. Be aware that using a pre-loaded drive on the inside is not the idea--the QNAP formats/erases any drive you install internally. Hope this review was helpful.
Review: Works great for basic+ NAS - If you're just using it as storage/backup/streaming videos this is perfect. It has a lot of options and apps but it struggles to run too much. I wanted to set it up to do radarr, sonarr, prowlarr, and download torrents with a vpn. I got that all running with docker and Container Station but it kept running out of memory and the services kept stopping. Similarly, you can install plex server on this but I'm 99% certain it would struggle and buffer constantly. It's a fun toy with a lot of flexibility but it doesn't have the hardware to follow through imo. It's a great device for the price range, just don't expect it to do things it's not designed for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful Storage with a Steep Learning Curve
*by E***N on April 17, 2025*

I purchased this primarily as a photo storage device, and I’m very happy with the storage capacity—it’s generous and handles large files with ease. This is definitely a product geared toward more advanced users. The setup process wasn’t exactly plug-and-play, even though they do provide a QR code and app to assist. There’s a fair amount of customization and configuration needed before you can fully start using it. If you’re tech-savvy or familiar with NAS setups, you’ll probably appreciate the flexibility and control. But for the average user, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve. That said, once it’s up and running, it performs very well. Fast access, reliable storage, and plenty of features make it a strong option for serious users who want a high-performance backup and storage solution.
