This server in a beautiful sleek design, which pleases me particularly! The bundle includes the external power supply (too bad but good), Ethernet cable, server and micro instructions (for pictogram) who learns nothing! For installation you must connect the Ethernet cable and follow the steps to the Pc screen that must be necessarily connected to the Internet! After downloading (32MB) software installation "QnapFinder" (370Mo installed), follow the setup procedure that takes about 35 minutes. Everything must be alone during this step until you restart the NAS included! I equipped with 2 hard drives HDD but it supports even the SSD which is a good point. It can be used in local network, making it a Cloud to make a server accessible from anywhere. The control panel is very clean and at the same time very complete, everyone will find happiness! It includes several "Appli" handy (photos, music, download manager, etc ...) and I advise you to go on the site "Qnap" to see all the features possible with this unit is! You can download and "Appli" to enjoy the NAS with Android or Apple devices that is welcome. The control panel is very complete, there are a multitude of parameters (system privilege, network service, application server) over a dashboard is present and it manages the functioning of all such the health system (temperature) and HDD (error or not), the resources used and available and the amount of storage. You can make data backups to external device through the USB 3 and that I find handy. He works in silence and I really appreciate it.
I find very promising overall, the only complaint I find is that it is not scalable, and I'm afraid the Ram will come to be right in what time! Otherwise I recommend the individual wishing to have a handy little Nas home. It is perfect also very small firms wishing to have their data available on several different positions.
I am satisfied with this product, it has another competitor can be a bit cheaper but "Qnap" is a very reliable brand!
Ps: The technical documentation and manual are downloaded from the manufacturer website (it can still be used).
