I have two 500 GB SSDs in it for caching as well as 4x20TB HDDs for storage. RAID 5 config. FWIW, I also upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB.
I'm not a NAS guru, but it's simple, straightforward, and just works for what I use it for.
However, for those of us with expensive electricity and little time, they NAS hit the spot.
That being said, they work when they work, however if you hit an edge case, you'll have to get into the cli weeds.
Literally yesterday I replaced a dead WD Red with a shucked 14TB seagate (mach2) from the external drive Best Buy deal (Amex $25). My qnap 453 did NOT auto rebuild. I had to manually run from cli "mdadm —add" command to get it in to the raid5 and then it began to rebuild.
So, great when it works. Frustrating when it doesn't.

QNAP is fast in adopting new tech, like the 2.5GB network and TPU for AI recognization. But new things mean they could be less stable. Synology is still using a lot of old tech hardware. I've watched a YouTube comparison where QNAP can do object recognization (like find all the burger pictures) but Synology took 2 years to add that feature.
I got this one (2 x 8 GB) [ebay.com] in January of this year.

Any ideas if any 6-bay models will be hitting BF sales?
