Have decided to use this great piece of technology, because even I did not want to fritter away an accomplished computer user my limited time with the conceptual construction of an alternative NAS, including its configuration with the appropriate operating system and the setting up of a periodic maintenance routine.
Okee, you will still spend some time with the QNAP NAS spend because of the opportunities a first but then slain. - I mean positive
I use the QNAP NAS with two Western Digital 3000GB WD SE Enterprise WD3000F9YZ 7.200U / min 64MB 3.5 "(8.9cm) SATA 6Gb / s.
To give the necessary boost Perfomance I:
1. the LAN port configuration of the connected Switches- / router by "Green Mode" with 100 Mbit / s in the "Power Mode" with Gbit / s changed.
2. in the QNAP web interface at: System Administration -> Network TCP-IP Port Trunking to "balance-alb" is set to take advantage of the second LAN port to the Switch / Router Gbit LAN.
With the increasing popularity of mobile devices both as Fotokamera- and video spare ensures just in location ungebunder use the NAS as a pivot-and-pivot of backup and archive of the online streaming can be accessed from anywhere via app for completely new, interesting possibilities. -This is TOP!
The virtualization component of QNAP is another inter esting point at a memory size of 4 GiByte RAM, the system automatically well in his web interface using a VM (virtual machine). Expandable is all on eight (8) GiByte. There are already reports of three to the same stable running VM's in the constellation.
This release here has one (1) GiByte RAM. A warranty seal on the housing divides you unequivocally guarantee the loss if your get the idea here should open the lid to go by dual RAM upgrade on VM expedition.
Note: A "limitation" of the vebauten Celeron J1800 (and Bay Trail-D in general) is that the SATA ports do not support port multiplier. This is important with regard to any extensions of the DiskStation. For my private purposes I see this as EHR unproblematic.
The built QNAP Celeron J1800 is one of the first parts of Bay Trail with Quick Sync, Intel's hardware H.264 encoder.
The options I tested is not so extensive, such as streaming of pictures and small homemade videos to and from the iPhone and including its reproduction found in my wife but well received. :-)
That you buy a very well thought-out product here one notices at the latest when you come through Internet search to older how-to instructions explaining functions in your description that can also be the current QNAP Firmware 4.1.1 in the menu sub-items.
All buyers Have fun with this iconic product and time to be able to dive into the possibilities of QNAP world sufficiently.
