Excellent NAS. Super simple setup, and DSM is really a very good interface. The possibilities are truly endless.
The speed is reasonable but could be a bit better. However, this is also limited in my case by somewhat older 500 GB drives and the fact that I access the NAS via WiFi doesn't really help either. But the hosting of websites is not flashy either. I still need to figure out how to do this faster...
The downside is that it only has 1 GB of RAM. If you use many options from DSM, this will fill up quickly and the NAS will not get faster. You can upgrade the memory if you're a bit of a handy Harry, but this is out of warranty...
Finally, the price is of course hefty. For what you get (plastic box with hardware in it for a few bucks) it is expensive. But here you get a completely finished and flexible product for...

Very nice product, just a shame if you have HDDs with data on them. You cannot save the data if you want to add the HDD to the NAS.
