Plenty of features. Nice storage.

QNAP TS-231P2 4TB NAS Solution

Their suite of mobile apps, and the ease of access remotely is a dream come true.
The UI is easy to use. Excellent case.
RAID 5 on 2 disks is stupid because the chance of being able to rebuild if a drive fails is less than 50%.
In the image, I tried to access drive storage space through the UI, but it was frozen and would not respond.
The copy drive button on front of the NAS either does not work or was not enabled with the standard install.
