    Elegant, high-performance NAS

    High-performance, energy-efficient NAS. The two disks are housed inside the case, making it smaller and more elegant.

    Very good NAS

    Very efficient hard drive connection system (plastic slide to clip onto the drive, then insert the drive into the rail, the SATA and power sockets clip on automatically).
    DLNA server supplied by default very poor, thank you Plex for picking up the slack :-)
    Rich and clear operating system

    good impression

    The product is aesthetically pleasing and functional; mounting the discs is not a problem. I am surprised by the noise made by the nas.

    ssh access not obvious

    An instruction leaflet hidden in the fold of the box allows you to install the disks just by looking at the pictures.
    The classic use is quite natural via the web interface (Windows 10 and Xubuntu 20.04).
    The ssh access is more difficult and you can start the NAS via the WOL, do an rsync and shut down the NAS via a script but you have to search a bit.
