QNAP TS-451+-2G-US 4-Bay Next Gen Personal Cloud NAS, Intel 2.0GHz Quad-Core CPU with Media Transcoding

Thanks to a 2nd of mine, I'm now able to work. have not adjusted the stars or below review for this, due to the fact that I have not found it affected my usage so far. There's nothing to worry about, but it's worth keeping an eye on. I had to change the Ethernet cable to the second NIC one day because the device stopped responding to the network. After doing more troubleshooting, I believe it died straight away, despite the fact that the status and duplex lights on the back appear to be working. It might be a case of This little guy cost me $150. I researched it a lot before buying. In general, I am very happy with the features and options I have access to. Before I begin, I would like to clarify that I do not possess any superpowers. Despite knowing some basics about Linux and SSH, I tend to stick to the GUI style of control. In addition, I purchased 8GB of RAM separately, since it seemed ridiculous to pay the shipping fee for it to be shipped with it. Currently, the system is configured as follows The *br- It has 8GB of RAM, which is vital for any computer.

It is inexcusable that a device such as this takes hours to get set up. In spite of the fact that the basic setup is completed, every attempt to install the apps needed to actually make it work fails. By purchasing a box with zero functionality, you are essentially purchasing a box with zero functionality You've installed it. In order for the firmware to function, you'll have to spend an hour or more downloading it. It takes at least 5 minutes for it to reboot, so you have to sit there and watch the minutes go by. After an hour and a half of trying, you then try to install the apps since the hour+ did not install them. First app install caused the machine to freeze and required a reboot (5+ minutes) after completion. Since then, no app has been able to install. It is possible to spend ten minutes watching the downloading screen only to have it flash and subsequently receive a message stating that "installation failed". There is no explanation as to why the installation failed or what needs to be done. Nothing happens when the computer is rebooted, nothing happens when you attempt to install other apps. Buying this thing cost the same as buying a mid-range mobile phone A desktop PC that is reasonably priced Even if they need to be updated, the basics should work out of the box.

A run through the test suite After using the 451,1+ for storage for Plex for two and a half years, one month, and a couple weeks, it would no longer recognize the Even though I was just barely within warranty, support was not willing to help me with this, despite the high failure rate for backplanes in their 4 bay Nas products which their customer service department even acknowledged (just google it, you'll see many complaints, especially after the recent firmware update). My QNAP support informed me I would need to pay to ship to them, pay $100 labor, as well as parts estimated at $41 if it was a backplane, and then I would have to pay return shipping costs as well. To repair it just 1 time, I would have to pay over half of what I paid for the NAS. We are 5 months past the expiration date of our 2-year With NAS costing so much, I think it's not unreasonable to expect that a product will last a lot longer than the warranty period. It is possible to replace the backplane myself, but technical support refused to sell it to me.

If there is only a minimal work load on a processor, it barely functions. As a whole, it is not very useful The remote function is only useful under heavy load, and you may have to give a command through the remote at these times. Within five minutes, the unit has responded. Even during file transfers alone, you will receive a constant warning of a high amount of QNAP tries to put a lot of hype into its product, such as a header at the top of its OS pages called "QNAP Turbo NAS". I would call the title "QNAP Slow-down" a more appropriate title The name of our organization is NAS". The only redeeming feature so far is that it is reasonably high at transferring data. A 90-percent chance of getting the job On file types such as music and movies, 100 MBS are available. This is the best it can do for me. I was looking forward to this NAS, but I am really disappointed with it. This old WD EX4 was literally a piece of garbage, as it self-destructed before I was even halfway through its lifespan It was destroyed and turned into landfill waste a little more than four years later. Yet this QNAP TS has proven to be a disappointment It doesn't seem like much of an improvement to get 451+. It looks like I'll have to spend more money to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 8GB in order to find out if that affects the video. The only problem is that QNAP didn't make a unit that was fully functional This is shameful.

This is a good NAS system for small businesses and homes. Follow these tips If you buy the model with 2GB of RAM and install your own memory upgrade, you can save a bit of money. After purchasing the 2GB version, I upgraded it to the 16GB (yes, sixteen) memory kit built into the system Kit of 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR3L - crucial For the Mac, there is 1600 SODIMM Memory The only thing QNAP says is that it is just an upgrade This will work with at least 8GB, but at least 16GB will work so far And yes, that is what the system recognizes. The best part is, it took me about 70 minutes to do. A NAS with 8GB RAM costs $200 less than the same NAS with 4GB In this case, I don't mind the slightly higher risk since it's not my sole storage system) the reason I wanted more storage was the possibility of more storage.
