It's nice, quiet and handy, but make sure you first enable the advanced folder rights during the installation, afterwards things can go wrong with the rights for your users. ok had to reset and start over

My old Qnap suddenly broke down after 7 years of loyal service. Fortunately, I was able to order it quickly and it was delivered quickly. Thanks to a tip from a review on this site, I was able to quickly install this NAS. So I didn't have a backup. So it was exciting to see whether the hard drives of the old NAS would work. That was no problem. Install the app and go with that banana. Be careful not to format the HDs! The slots are made of plastic. I'm not a fan of that. I could not lock the 4th lock. This NAS makes a little more noise than my old one, but that doesn't bother me.
