When it comes to freeing up space across multiple hard drives, this thing is a beast. energy efficient. It's a pity that mine kept hanging and stopping. If you want to use a cache drive, you have to do without the SATA port, nothing can be used on the board. Their native apps aren't the latest, which is why the support team is telling you to only use Docker. Guess what? Docker is supported by the third-party software Portainer.

If they manage to fix the software issues, this thing can compete with many higher-priced NAS boxes.
