I was looking for a simple 4-bay DAS USB raid system to replace my 4-bay Drobo because I don't think I will be using a media server. There were some4-bay DAS units on sale for $179 a few weeks back but those are back up to $219 now. In my search I came across this 4-bay NAS Server for only $20 more and it has 2GB RAM and a modest 4 core ARM CPU (which isn't much --but its better than no CPU) . Amazon has the same unit for $289 --so the list price is legit. ( The $259 unit with the same model number is only 1 GB Ram).. There may be comments on the limitation of this modest NAS system but keep in mind I would have been happy with a 4-bay DAS --so any NAS features at almost the same price are a bonus for me. The reviews are pretty good for this unit as a modest NAS 4-bay not really capable of handling 4K streaming (

Here are the specs:.
--A 4-bay entry-level NAS optimized for home and SOHO users, running the latest TOS 4.1 operating system.
--ARM v8 quad-core 1.4GHz CPU with 2GB RAM (not upgradeable), blazingly fast read/write speeds of more than 114 MB/s (RAID 0, SATA III 4TB NAS hard drive x 2), hardware encryption.
---Supports Emby and Plex media servers, which keep your videos, music, and photos personal media beautifully organized,always ready for on-demand streaming to your PC, mobile device, smart TV, or games console.
--Compatible with 3.5" and 2.5" SATA HDD, 2.5" SATA SSD. Each bay supports the HDD up to 18TB (Total of 72TB in RAID 0).
---Supports Docker, cloud drive sync, multiple backups, remote access and mobile app. Dozens of free applications; Ultra-quiet heat dissipation technology.

Does F4-210 have USB 3?
My PC is the Plex server so I don't even need this thing to process any video, it just need to purely serve up files fast enough to send to the hosts.
My current Nas is old and when the Nas itself dies I'm gonna lose all my files if I don't migrate to a new one or at least have as a backup
Suggestions for this basic need?

Also curious, can you attach this NAS as a USB drive to a PC? That's rare, but also a bonus if possible.
