Its very nice to have, I'm using it as just a media drive and it hasn't given me any problems. I have it setup plugged straight into my router, so i can access it from any device on my network. I had no problem with either of the app on my android phone or tablet.

- Easier than I expected to setup; - smaller than I expected, which is great!; - quieter than I expected! Overall Im surprised with the quality, ease of use and speed.




- M.2SSD and 10GBE in one card - Performance - Ease of installation - Heat sink


Easy to configure. The item arrived in Raid 1 (Mirrored) so it was only 1800GB available space. This is a backup device, so I needed Raid 0 (stripped) for full size. It was really easy to change Raid types, set up my shared folders and stsslyart the copies. 1.4 TB later and it's already beginning to fill to where it will live it's life. Firmware upgrade was a snap also. Everything worked flawlessly.


Easy to set-up


Excellent solid hardware (2.5GB LAN, M.2 Storage for cashing, I/O Ports) at a great price. Installation of hardware (drives, etc.) done well. UGREEN NAS app make it simple and quick to get the unit up and running.

Easy to install.

Easy to upgrade memory took sodimm ddr4 3200 16 gig. Qnap went to soldered on memory on new machines suppossedly due to a ram shortage so now you can not upgrade their ram so this was a HUGE no no for me. I was a Qnap lover, but a friend has a older version of this and I thought i'd give em a try. Software looks almost identical to a Qnap so was easy for me to get in and go. 2x2.5 gb networking. it does transfer very quickly. 4X Gen 3 m.2 (NOTE THESE GET HOT). I used heat sinks for all 4 and have had zero problems. It's worth a few bucks to toss heat sinks on em. if your only going to cache boost with em get small cheapies they run much cooler. Took a few tries to get the setup I wanted with my raid and SSD caching. This was a neck and neck with Qnap ts464. its cheaper and does the same stuff, but you can upgrade the ram. I have both this and the Qnap ts464 this is my favorite. This thing for Plex is a beast! transcodes multiple streams like a champ.

Drive trays are identical to other Plus-series DiskStations, making it very quick to move drives between units Good support for migrating arrays DiskStation OS is pretty easy to use Synology's proprietary RAID modes are easier to expand and make better use of disks with varying capacities, compared to traditional RAID modes
