Synology DS920+ 32TB 4 Bay Desktop NAS Solution, installed with 4 x 8TB Seagate IronWolf Drives

Product Information

Other manufacturers are more likely to sell their NAS devices without any included hard drives, but some will offer included disks that are pre-configured for the convenience of you, the buyer. That defeats the object of having a NAS in the first place: having a central and secure place to store all of your data.

Support for Both SATA and M.2 NVMe SSD Bays**: All top 4-Bay NAS drives this year feature this essential hardware capability. Some apps (such as the Surveillance Center apps) are long overdue an update in visuals and services PCIe add-in cards, expansion units, and storage drives are sold separately. Refer to the compatibility list for compatible devices.

These highlights alone make it ideal for media streaming. Totaling four drive bays, you can store up to 72TB of data on this unit. It’s got plenty of other cool features too, including an eSATA port as well as M.2 SSD slots for installing flash drives as caching to improve performance.

Shared Drive Hosting Capability**: The ability to host a shared drive on PC, mobile, or laptop systems, synchronized with the NAS and displayed in the native file manager. What we said in our Review – The QNAP TS-451D2 is an interesting solution to add to the range at the tail end of 2020 for the company, sandwiched in between the launch of newer business devices and likely one of the last units in the QNAP D series. The brand has long since shaken off the reputation of being a hardware provider and light software provider, becoming something much, much even. With a huge number of first-party applications in the QNAP QuTS library (many of which are genuinely unique) as well as releasing an affordable 4-Bay NAS solution that has aimed itself at the new NAS buyer, or the NAS user who wants to spend a little now but can expand greatly later. Also i am longer periods away from home due to my job. Want to control the Nas with my phone. Probably a Fold 5. My network is only 1 Gbps at the moment. Just as I don’t really have place on my desk for another NAS, I don’t have a place on my desk for a 2.5 Gbps / 10 Gbps switch, and my house is not wired for ethernet.
