Review: This unit replace my dead TVS-672X who die after connecting a faulty USB device in the front usb port. The sensitive chipset problem is a widespread problem with x72 model. Hopefully, this AMD base motherboard will last more than 2 years. At least, it come with a basic 3 years waranty. Review: This is an Important decision so I'm spending a bit more time on it. I upgraded this to 64GB of memory and I put in a 1TB SSD card to run VM's primarily. It's running the VM's well after watching a couple of Youtube channels on optimizing the drivers. I have it set as a file server with snapshots. I'm syncing them to a USB drive I have plugged in for a scheduled backup. I also sync them to Microsoft Azure cold storage for an offsite backup. This is all done with HBS Backup which is part of QNAP's os. (FREE) This also runs QuTS Hero as an operating system which is the latest platform. Be sure to choose it during setup. Once you pick the operating system, I don't think you can switch. By default it's QTS which is older. Note: QuTS Hero is a bit more memory intensive so you may want to upgrade that, especially if you are going to want to run a bunch of VM's. Mine is also functioning as a Plex Media Server. It works very well. I installed a a graphics card. it does hardware transcoding to lower resolutions if you want to stream it to your phone remotely. (You need to purchase a "plex pass" from plex to do hardware transcoding or remote viewing. But it's not that expensive.) Lots of videos to help you. I recommend the YouTube channels QNAP UK and NASCompares for some good overviews and how to's. You really can get a lot out of the device if you watch good channels. For example last week, I learned that you can build a shutdown plan if the power fails. I plugged my ups usb in, and it was unbelievably simple to configure. This could handle a medium sized business no problem at all. Extensive raid options, "hot standby" drives, and TONS of features important to a business. For example you can have it be a domain controller or even scan your files for viruses/malware. There's a great app store (all apps appear to be free) and you can also extend the app store to a use community one called QNAP Club. Additionally, you can create these "little" applications called containers which are like little mini servers. There's a tool called container station that let's you quickly install them from a huge array of "docker containers" that are available. The warranty is 3 years! You can purchase 2 more within 60 days (it may be 90, not sure.) Support on the operating system is "lifetime". If you just need disk space this might be overkill. But if you want a platform to help you manage your infrastructure it's amazing. If you have/want a serious home lab -- this is for you.

You need a minimum amount of drives for different levels of raid. I used raid 6 which tolerates a 2 drive failure so you need a minimum of 4 drives. They should all be the same size (and speed.) Google "raid calculator" for some good web tools. I have 4 of the drives mentioned. I have room to grow 4 more, but the capacity is like 2 drives now, because of the raid 6 config. Larger drives are no problem but the cost per TB is higher when you get to the top of the available drive sizes. That's why I choose 16TB.
