QNAP TS-210-US All-in-one NAS Server with iSCSI for SOHO and Home Users

Comment:
Impressive demonstration video of the AJAX management internet interface. Also negative I in no way got to see it in action for myself following owning the product for additional than a month. Seeing as I never ever got to use this product to observe for myself the constructive qualities of this product I will use this space to relay my expertise. Rep that contacted me through email supplied advice that was readily available in the public internet forums. None of the troubleshooting strategies solved my issue, but his communications seemed to indicate he wanted to help me. When I received unit back from RMA in exact same situation as sent I was passed to a second troubleshooting rep when I contacted QNAP and questioned this. I requested facts about repairs produced to this unit and right after 4 days of no response from QNAP rep I decided to warn others by relaying my expertise with QNAP. Their item under no circumstances worked for me and they did not replace or repair when they had the NAS physically in their hands. I installed two ST32000542AS Challenging drives which are on the manufacturer drive compatibility list. NAS needed firmware to be uploaded soon after drive initialization, but whenever I tried to upload right after initialization it kept bringing me back to the hard drive initialization web web page. I decided to SSH into the NAS and inspect the DMESG logs. Following HD initialization "rejecting I/O to offline device" appears repeatedly in the dmesg log. After exhausting suggested troubleshooting tips from QNAP rep I sent this in for repair or replacement. Unit came back with no documentation on operate performed and nonetheless had the same concern that it had when I sent the unit out. After 15+ hours of troubleshooting to an unsatisfactory conclusion I have formed an opinion of QNAP and will in no way purchase or recommend any of their solutions ever once again. The Difficult drives installed in the NAS are totally operational in each Windows and Linux computers with no problems what so ever reading and create massive media files. I am requesting my income back from Newegg. I urge you to tread cautiously with QNAP solutions. I study adverse critiques on newegg and other net forums with regards to QNAP, but decided to take a likelihood with QNAP anyway. Now I regret my acquiring choice as I now have an high priced doorstop. If you determine to purchase QNAP anyway I sincerely hope you do not regret your purchase but I am performed with them.
