Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Overall very satisfied with this unit. It is robust, well built and a pleasure to use. Very capable if it meets your needs.

For $299 this cannot be beaten. Just so you know - it is versatile in that regard! Performance and reliability are excellent. The hardware is solid.

The drive bays are solid. The 5th is block by the plastic front bezel, which is easily modifiable. Set up users, enabled smb/cifs services, and was ready to go. I have it configured with five 3tb drives in raid 5.

If this product fails me again, for the third time in two days, i will plan on returning it. Stay away even if this is offered for free. Not worth the headache. Invest in a more sound product.

I had some trouble setting it up, but terramaster's customer support was very quick to respond and helpful.

Packaging/appearance


Data is packed at the same density across the platter, so, each revolution means the heads write/read more data on the edges, v...  Read More


But it looks really nice if you have to put it on a desk.

Competitiveness


An excellent alternative to the more expensive nas that seem to never be available when i am ready to purchase them.


There are a lot of companies trying to sell their products in amazon's space and i feel terramaster is a solid company primaril...  Read More


The xytel nas ran at 49c and i could not get it lower than that.
