Why consider this model?

  • A straightforward two-bay NAS for shared home files, photo storage and planned backups when 2 GB of non-ECC memory, one gigabit port and two SATA positions match the intended services. The two-drive SHR-1 or RAID 1 arrangements let a buyer choose protection against a single disk failure.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • It has no M.2 slots listed, no faster-than-1GbE port and only two internal drive positions. A mirrored pair sacrifices approximately half of equal-drive raw capacity, and the standard box does not list hard drives. Its 2 GB memory is not listed as user-upgradeable on the current page.
