The enclosure is excellent for back up photos and videos. I used individual mode with 4 disks and raid 1. The das is silent and reliable. The only limitation is the enclosure is SATA 2 speed limiting to about 200MB /s max. But for backups, it’s enough

I have a 4 slot QNAP RAID that was getting filled up after several years of use. The expansion unit I was expected to move too was no longer sold. This unit was made to replace. Not the best as its SATA-3 and is really not a full feature RAID. The built quality of is cheap with mostly plastic components when my existing QNAP is mostly metal. New generation home QNAP units looks to be built on cheaper parts. I decided to buy it as it allows my existing QNAP to manage it. It was on sale and made it a simple option till I replace my NAS option which may be a truenas or other option. The support from QNAP has been average and nothing to say I will definitely buy it again. B&H was very efficient from order to delivery and would definitely buy from them again.

I got 4 x 4TB drives installed. The only complaint is that the trays are flimsy and the locking mechanism is garbage.

A 4-bay RAID capable enclosure for this price is truly a great value. Admittedly, connected through USB-3.2 Gen 1, it is surely slow for a high traffic professional storage. But for a home-based large volume storage the solution is just right. I placed four 16TB drives in the enclosure and configured them to RAID-5. Using Windows 10, I formatted it to a virtual drive, and all this went without a hitch. 46.3TB in size, fantastic. QNAP has some issues with its firmware, but these are minor problems. For example, it took me a better part of one hour to install a firmware upgrade. The reason was a quite ambiguous translation to English (restart meat really power down and power up. Also by a seldom coincidence, one of my 4 drives was defective. And of course, I placed it in the 1st bay. QNAP never managed to boot due to this defective drive. I heard only never ending click-click-click noise, and I saw no progress. Only when I removed the drive, the device booted. And so I identified the defective drive. But when I tested this drive in my Dell workstation, the firmware correctly caused a timeout, and displayed a defective drive message. I am sure that a less experienced user would be perplex, and maybe even tried to return the QNAP enclosure. Furthermore, once I received a replacement for the 4th defective drive, I found no possibility to add it to existing 3-drive RAID 5 setup. I had to reformat the RAID5 drive and restart the backup from the beginning. Thus please be aware of the small limitations in the TR-004. Still, I am a happy camper, and I think that for the price user gets a great value without an alernative.

Very fast data transfer, perfect for 4K HQ. Unlike Synology NAS the software and installation is very easy. I bought this NAS to replace a Synology DS2180 that was way too slow for file transfer and 4K streaming. I was able to install four RED NAS 8TB hard drives to make two RAID 1 on the GNAP TR-004 .

I bought this as a stand alone RAID unit, connected directly to a computer. While I appreciated the hardware RAID, and the software was easy to use, the fastest transfer speed I could clock was 180MB/s in any of the RAID configurations. That’s with four X18 drives installed. I was expecting well over 400MB/s with that configuration in RAID 5.

There is only one port: a USB-3 port. The specs for managing the unit are not published, so you can only manage it with their proprietary software. If you use Linux, you’re out of luck. Windows and Mac only. Also, if a new drive is detected, it will automatically reformat the disks, so when one drive fails, be careful to hot swap the drive and not to power off. Be careful.
