Review on Zyxel NAS326: Personal Cloud Storage [2-Bay] with Remote Access & Media Streaming – Disks Not Included by Velizar Chayshev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

After enduring WD's MYBOOKLIVE, I found this NAS to be really satisfying. After chatting with customer service, remote access was established up. A little different than I'd want, but if I'm not mistaken, UPNP setting ports or my manually forwarding them makes no difference. Therefore, in order to access the NAS from the outside world, you must forward ports 80 and 443 for the web interface and zCloud, as Zyxel Drive is no longer supported. Access through WebDAV will be granted after ports 5002 (http) and 5003 (https) are forwarded. In other words, NAS folders can be mounted as external disks on another machine.

Pros
  • Access your NAS from anywhere with the help of DAmazon (own zyxel-ovsky). In the upcoming years, I pray that the cloud does not perish. Last night I decided to check out Transmission's capabilities, downloading some torrents from work and then watching a movie when I got home.
Cons
  • Zyxel's software is unreliable and rarely performs as expected. We can no longer guarantee the proper operation of Zyxel Drive. zCloud can be used, but it must be set up manually. The administrator's password is flying about for some reason. For safety's sake, I made a second administrator.
