• Memory: 4 GB DDR3L (typically soldered); expandable (varies by vendor).

• Drive Bays: 5 × SATA (3.5″ & 2.5″ HDD/SSD supported).

• Maximum Capacity: Up to ~80–100 TB raw (5 × high‑capacity drives).

• Ethernet:
  • 1 × 10GBASE‑T RJ45 port for 10 GbE connections.
  • 2 × 1 GbE ports supporting link aggregation/failover.

• USB: USB 3.0 ports for external backup.

• Performance: Up to ~670 MB/s read/write over 10GbE (with RAID 5).

Storage & RAID Support

Supports a range of RAID configurations, including:

• RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10

• JBOD

• SINGLE

• Online expansion & RAID migration without data loss

This flexibility lets you balance speed, capacity, and redundancy based on needs.

File Systems & Access

• File systems: EXT4 and Btrfs. Btrfs includes snapshot protection and advanced integrity features.

• Network file services: SMB/CIFS, NFS, AFP, FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, iSCSI.

• Multimedia: Plex/Emby servers and 4K hardware transcoding support.

• Enterprise apps: VirtualBox VMs, VPN servers, DNS, webservers, AD/LDAP support.

What It’s Good For

✅ Fast local storage across a 10 GbE network
✅ Centralized backups for workplaces or creative studios
✅ Media streaming and transcoding (4K)
✅ Private cloud file sharing
✅ Advanced RAID with flexible storage expansion

Considerations / Limitations

• Performance may vary: Real‑world 10 GbE throughput depends on clients, cables, and disk performance.

• Software limitations: Some users report that the built‑in TOS OS may be less mature than more mature NAS OS solutions (e.g., TrueNAS, Synology DSM).

• Memory expandability variability: Some units are more limited than others, depending on vendor configuration.
