  • Positiveeinfache Installation
  • Positiveviele RAID Level
  • Positivehohe Kapazität
  • Negativehohe Leistungsaufnahme

Insgesamt macht das NAS einen guten Job und hat aufgrund der fünf Einschübe für Festplatten eine sehrt hohe Kapazität von satten 28 TB. Dies erfordert aber auch mehr Strom und somit ist der Stromverbrauch entsprechend höher als bei kleineren Modellen. Dennoch kann ein derartiges System lohnen, da das Gerät auch viele RAID Levels unterstützt sowie die Installation des ganzen Systems recht einfach ausfällt.
