QNAP TS-133-US 1 Bay Affordable Desktop NAS with ARM Cortex-A55 Quad-core Processor and 2 GB DDR4 RAM (Diskless)

Cant figure out how to log on to it, an expensive paper weight. UPDATE I figured out how to log on to it, WORKS GREAT!!

I got tired of my home network music access working when it felt like it, so looked into using a NAS and chose this QNAP model after reading reviews. I have some IT experience but no longer work in it so this was admittedly a tad complicated, but I also admit I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like asking for directions when I'm lost. I realized at the mid-point I was complicating things by *not* stopping and making sure the home network access was solid before worrying about the online cloud part of things. The unit itself is not large and the process of adding either size SATA drives was easy. On a desk shelf, it is a bit noisy as you can hear a bit of hum and vibration when the hard drive or drives are spinning. The power cable is a tad short in my humble opinion. You start by installing a "Q-Finder" app on your computer attached to the same network, and step-by-step the software walks you through assigning an admin login and setup on your LAN. Once you wade into the out-of-home access arena is where I had problems, but when I realized I didn't want that, the rest fell into place. There are tweaks you make with the QNAP *and* the devices you want to use to access the files to get it all to work. Go slow and careful and use the Help and online searches and it comes together. Your phone, tablet or other device will need to login the first time with your admin name and password to see and play the files but once you are thru that hoop the fun begins. This QNAP plays MP3s more quickly and without any hiccups than several server apps I used for years on Windows. The QNAP has it's own processor and RAM so it is way faster producing file lists and starting playback. The user interface on the computer is quite nice too. Between the cost of the QNAP and a nice fast 3.5" 2TB hard drive I had $300 invested but I am happy with the results. I didn't have to contact tech support so that was a win. I could also enable an external drive connected by USB for access. Be aware that using a pre-loaded drive on the inside is not the idea--the QNAP formats/erases any drive you install internally. Hope this review was helpful.

You will either love it or hate it. Purchased a used "in mint condition" from Amazon to replace my old old Apple Time Capsule that will shortly be no longer supported by Apple. It is definitely not plug and play, and since mine was used,it had a few more issues. However once I buckled down and figured it out, I think I will like it more than my old reliable Time Capsule. A lot faster, more functionality and just as quiet even though it has a fan.

Muy buen NAS, lo recomiendo ampliamente, se configura muy fácil y tiene muchas opciones de seguridad y configuración, realmente vale la pena para esta vida digital donde fotos y documentos son digitales, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

PCでSMARTのエラーが検出されないHDDが、TS-133で検出された。推奨HDDでないとエラーが報告されるということか。無視して使っているが、多少気になる。
