I had experience with QNAP and, personally, I'm not touching another product from that company. The 4 bay NAS I had was nothing but trouble. Every few days, weeks, or months it would tell me a different drive had failed. The drives were on QNAPs approved list (WD 3T Reds) and always check out. The QNAP tech guys treated me like an idiot, run me though all the diagnostics on each call, and would insist it was the drives even though I had tested them and was beyond certain it was not. I finally got them to replace the unit only to have the same thing happen.

I gave up ... it was not worth my time. I bought a Synology 8 bay. Transferred the drives from the QNAP and it ran no problems for a couple of years till it had a power supply issue. Customer service promptly replaced it free of charge. Other then a single drive failure (which was a real drive failure) I've had no issues. I'd buy another Synology without hesitation.

BTW: Anyone who wants to the QNAP can have it for the price of postage ...
