Same here. Have mine for 3 years. Still works great. I use it as a file server and connect my plex server to it. 80MB/s average transfer rates.

I've been using the Iomega's ix2 and ix4 for years. Easily get 80 MB/s transfer speeds. What is to gain with one of these?

You could repurpose an old Xeon server (socket 1366 or 2011) and turn it into an unraid or freenas server for cheaper than this and have way more than 2 bays + boatloads more CPU power.

More ram lets you run more VMs and Dockers and apps at a time. Can be helpful, and nice for those with spare RAM available.
