Light on features, very slow transfer speed. Not good for large amount of data, unless you don’t mind waiting. Error occurs when trying to load large amount of data (more than 100 Gb). For the price I paid for it, I better off buying a generic box and a HDD. I‘ll have money left over for a few lunches.
Having said that, I’ll give it one star for running continuously for 6 months, be there when I needed it.

What's the point of RAID 1 (on 1 TB model) if the drives cannot be replaced or corrupt arrays cannot be repaired. Your data will be safer on any other NAS.
