    QNAP TR-002

    I received my device very quickly and very well packaged as usual.
    I haven't plugged it in and used it yet, as I'm reading the instructions carefully first.

    external RAID box

    Purchased to back up two 8TB disks in RAID1. Very good USB3 throughput and perfect for having a backup box that doesn't take up too much space on the desk.

    Perfect delivery.
    Problem-free installation.
    Problem-free settings.
    This equipment corresponds perfectly to its description.
    It perfectly meets my expectations to make a local backup of my data.
    I recommend this product for this purpose in any case.

    Hot off the press

    I have just received this box.
    I mounted it this afternoon and configured it in RAID1 without difficulty. My two disks are visible as a single disk from my Linux.
    The box does not seem too noisy, to see with time.
    For the moment I am very satisfied.

    Good quality, but no more

    Purchased as a storage extension for the main (Windows) PC in the house.
    More:
    - as described
    - good quality
    - QNAP product information (specifications)
    - responsive support
    - the contents of the package well protected and complete
    Less so:
    - the plastic of the drawers (longevity?)
    - the minimalist manual
    - the QNAP support that can't answer a simple question like "is the TR-002 detected by Windows without a loaded disk?
    - the TR-002 is not detected without a disk loaded so if you have a problem with a disk, you have to interpret the LEDs (my 2 disks arrived out of order)
