4 Stars to 1 Stars.. confused… read on and you will understand. Update attempt Number 2I originally submitted an update to this review about a week ago and it did not see the light of day. No explanation from amazon as to why it did not get posted but I am submitting it again in hopes that it will go through.I have been a synology fan boy for several years now. I suffered through the DSM issues and poor hardware choices because I was able to get it to work and it functioned well for my purposes. This is my fourth unit (two have gone into…
Setup was easy… Iâve attached a few pics, nothing to outrageous here, itâs a 4 bay NAS (that can be expanded to 9 drives).

Yup.With the ability to run virtual machines (and Docker containers!), I was able to have it take over my power-hungry PC running 24/7 as well as a remote VPS VM I was paying for. It’ll eventually pay for itself with power…
