Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

The device is ideal in terms of price-performance-quality ratio, I considered and tried various NASs, Synology is unreasonably expensive with the same functionality, the rest are not so functional, self-assembly IMHO is cumbersome and dancing with a tambourine with the selection of iron, cooling, and then with compatibility, so that everything worked like clockwork, you have to try, well, it’s a pain if it’s Chrenology with various AO and software compatibility, I understand this and could think it over and make a decent self-collection, I was already ready for this, but then I calculated everything and realized that time and a small overpayment are not equal. It’s not much more expensive than they did it separately, for that it’s compact and works like a clock, but there is also a moment for everything to work, you need to understand at least the basics of how it works and what each button is for, I advise you to read European forums with a translator, there are practically answers to all questions and the community is more friendly than on our forums, it’s still not just a file dump (it can be stirred up on the basis of a router without problems), before buying, you need to understand why you are taking it, I understood, and chose this particular model, t . to. it’s easier - it doesn’t work, more expensive - it’s pointless, it’s ideal for my tasks, though the remote control turned out to be not at the cash desk, because. is in the closet

Pros

All! Worth the money with some BUT! It is MANDATORY to expand the RAM, but it does not make sense with original dice, go to the laptop commission and test so dimm 1.35 V dice, every second one works fine, as a result we have 2x4 GB for 3,000, against 2 x 4 GB of original ones for 18,000! If you do not use virtualization or a container, then 4 GB is enough, someone set it to 16 - it starts up. I put 8 (2x4) with enough head! Full convenience and you VPN when working from home with a tunnel to the office and vice versa, photo backups from the phones of all family members, file libraries for the whole family from any device (Mom decides to look at old photos on a tablet - no problem), media capabilities and so on it’s clear, ISCSI is generally a fairy tale, when you take a laptop, and there is not enough memory, it’s better than just a network drive, PXE would still be screwed on and it’s generally wonderful, and 2 gigabit ports in balance mode (because a switch with aggregation is a little expensive) generally work amazingly , you can watch directly on monitoring. The site is a business card with hosting on it - yes, please, a personal page for e-books, so that you can enter from readers - please (just haven’t done it yet, you need to study it), but theoretically this is a regular site.

Cons

There are drawbacks to the fact that some application packages with new firmware can be removed, such as Transmission was removed, but everything is solved by manually installing and configuring the configuration file of each program, even without using the terminal.
