👎 Cons
- The Intel Celeron processor, while quad-core, may not be as powerful as an Intel Core i3/i5 or AMD Ryzen for very demanding NAS applications.
- The 8GB DDR4 RAM, while sufficient for many users, is not upgradeable beyond the pre-installed amount as per typical NAS designs.
- While dual 2.5GbE is an improvement, it is not 10GbE, which might be a limitation for environments requiring ultra-high-speed network transfers.
- The included 4TB drives provide a total of 4TB usable storage in RAID 1, which might be limiting for users with very large data needs over time.
- The focus on personal/family use suggests it might not be scaled for very large or complex enterprise-level deployments.
