Built like a tank, as always. love their products.
compares well against the synology 710 unit, a little slower, but not really noticeable, but more suited to business market with design rather than home market. room for both I think.
QNAP, our business uses a mixture of their older products, nice to see them sprucing up their performance with this generation.
excellent product, bit much for what I need at home, but pricing seems good.
QNAP and Synology certainly are going toe to toe. both are really delivering this year so far. its nice to see a company drive another harder
