QNAP TS-332X-2G 3 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure - 2 GB RAM, Annapurna Labs Quad Core Processor - with Three M.2 SSD Slots and 10 GBE Connectivity

This is the first NAS that I have set up myself. The install and set up process really couldn't have been easier.Adding or removing disks to the drive bays is very easy. There are no screws needed which reduces the amount of faffing about.The web based user interface is also very easy to use. Setting up the drives into a raid array was very easy following the step by step processes. The online documentation for the product was also very easy to follow.I like the fact that it's extensible with additional storage if needed. So there's some future-proofing.I added 16GB of RAM to the unit myself. This was also a simple process and I think that it improved the responsiveness of the unit. Well worth spending a couple of extra Euros that it took.Would recommend for any small business or home user.

The OS is easy to use, very well built and quiet.Just be warned this model cannot use Virtualization Station so you can only run terminal based apps no vms.

Great NAS, much better than my previous one.

ProsGood build quality, easy to manageVersatile feature set10GbE and large expansion support to help with storage requirements.Can hit wire speed read and writes over 10gbeScrewless drive traysSuper cheap relative to other Qnap models with large bay numbers.plex is now availableConsLower performance compared to socketed cpu models for encrypted volumesDifferent app availability as x86 models. eg virtualization station isn't availabledisks are set as;5 * 4TB 7.2K Toshiba N300 in RAID 10 with hot spare4 * 960GB Intel DC d3 4510 SDD in RAID 1 pairsno caching or tiering.

My RAID 6 failed 2 times, lost 30TB data, Disks keep randomly disconnecting with an 'NCQ disabled. Timeout error.'. Although I think the enclosure was faulty, Qnap support refused to address the issue as the HDD and SSD were not listed on the compatibility list. According to QNAP support, many hard drives are not supported in this enclosure as its running on an ARM processor.

Great Product at a good price. Need to upgrade the RAM though, remember to factor in the cost for 16GB ram.

I'm really pleased with this product. I bought the 2Gig RAM version and upgraded the RAM to 8Gig (easy upgrade to do). I'm running it with 5 x 3TB WD Red drives in RAID 6 and 4 x Crucial MX300 SSDs in RAID 10 set to auto tiered mode.I have it connected to a 10GBe switch on 2 different VLANS. one for ISCSI used by my hypervisor cluster and the other for SMB/NFS file sharing for PCs/devices on my network.I'm very happy with it for the use I'm putting it to. The QNAP NAS OS is powerful and easy to use with simple web configuration.It did take many hours to initialize the RAID 6 array on the WD RED drive. No idea whether a NAS with a higher powered CPU would've done this quicker or not. However, once it is initialized the access and read/write speed are more than adequate for my use as shared ISCSI storage for a 2 server hypervisor cluster and for file share access.The apps are pretty good too. I'm using one to auto backup the NAS to Amazon S3 and to 2-way sync to Microsoft OneDrive.I doubt whether this would be good as a PLEX server. Although the app is available and I'm pretty sure it would stream well, I think transcoding would be very slow.For the price, this is an excellent product and perfect for my use. You may need to consider a higher spec x86 based model though if you want to use it as a virtualization platform or for video transcoding.That said, the ARM CPU is very power efficient and the NAS draws very little electricity which is nice.Not had to use QNAP tech support so no idea if they're any good or not.4 stars rather than 5 as it can take a while to boot/reboot and there is no progress indicator. It does use a voice prompt to say when it is ready though. Would have got 5 stars if it had a LCD display for progress/system messages.

Underpowered CPU - takes all day to do anything.Qnap NAS are OK but get a higher powered one.

Con todas las bahias ocupadas, 6 discos de 8TB, y 2 ssd de 480GB, es muy silencioso. El sistema operativo de Qnap es bastante intuitivo, aunque tienes que hacerte un poco con el. bastante rapido en el traspaso de archivos. Usando link-agregation y los ssd, exprimes su potencial. recomiendo su compra. (le he cambiado la memoria de 2Gb por una de 16)

Un grande qualità il qnap. perfetto potevo prendere il modello successivo ma hdmi transcodifica ecc ecc non mi interessava e ho trovato questo prodotto veramente ben costruito.

Consideré muy buena la rebaja en el precio y accedí a quedarme un modelo por otro. Aunque el procesador del 963 me hubiera gustado más y me hubiera dado más confianza. Espero no tener que arrepentirme.Software muy desarrollado. No tiene errores, da avisos/alertas y muchísimas explicaciones . Conociendo este producto ahora, no compraría otro.Le hace falta más ram de los 2gb que lleva. Hay avisos y alertas en inglés que traducidos, mejorarían aún más mi valoración.

Dieses Einsteiger-NAS mit zwei 10-GBit-Anschlüssen bietet mit seinen 8 Steckplätzen für 3,5"-Festplatten viel Potenzial für überschaubares Geld.Auch wenn die Festplattenrähmchen etwas filigran wirken und der ARM-Prozessor aus der Familie A56 nicht gerade übertrieben leistungsstark ist erfüllt das Gerät den angestrebten Zweck: ein dickes RAID-6 zügig mit dem reifen QTS als Betriebssystem zu betreiben und einen stabilen Server für MacOS- und Windows-Computer zu bieten.Klar bekommt man um mehr Geld mehr von allem, für viele Einsatzzwecke ist dies jedoch gar nicht erforderlich. Wer auf viele Zusatzprogramme aus der QNAP-Welt verzichten kann und nur Daten horten will, der kann hier bedenkenlos zugreifen. 8 GB RAM sind für einen Dateiserver viel und die vier CPU-Kerne schwächeln bei realistischen Anforderungen nicht.Was auch gefällt ist das integrierte Netzteil, was dieses Modell von anderen (TS-431X2, TS-932X) abhebt und dem Besitzer etwas Kabelsalat und denkbare Wackelkontakte erspart.200 bis 300 MByte/Sekunde Datentransferrate stellen die zu erwartende Netzwerkleistung in der Praxis dar, somit kann ein Server über einen passenden Switch grob 3 Clients ohne Flaschenhals bedienen.Wem das nicht genügt oder x86-Kompatibilität wegen Zusatzprogrammen gefragt ist, dem seien die Geräte der Serie TS-x73 mit zusätzlicher Netzwerkkarte ans Herz gelegt. Diese leisten um 100-300 Euro mehr (je nach Speicherausstattung und Art des Netzwerkadapters) grob das Doppelte.

Backup Image lässt sich einwandfrei erstellen. (Windows7 Image unter Windows 10 v1809)bin begeistert.
