It is an excellent disk. I have 2 identical ones in my possession on a Synology Nas (DS220j)! It has exactly the speeds it promises. It has not had any problems for almost 5 months. It is located inside a Nas, open 24/7. Operating hours: 3214 hours (1st) [the second one has 1577 hours]. I have filled it twice and emptied it. I have the 4TB model. It constantly writes because I have the cameras sending all the footage to this Nas. So far, it has proven to be flawless. I have done many tests and it has not shown any issues. I will update my reviews after 1-2 years when I have made fair use of the disk.

For the accuracy of the test, I will try to be as objective as possible, and I will run tests on both simultaneously with the same frequency (test), same temperatures, and generally the same conditions on both, so that the results are as "clean" as possible. This is my review so far.

Thank you very much for your time.

This specific Nas is an entry level NAS. This means that it has a fairly weak processor and very little RAM for more functions such as (multiple users simultaneously running Synology applications such as Moments - Drive - Video Station, etc). It is not suitable for more than 2 users simultaneously because it overwhelms the processor and the RAM is not sufficient. So if you want it for more users, go for the DS220+ which has a much better processor and RAM. As for its operation with one user, it is flawless! I am the only one in my family who handles it and the system runs smoothly, everything responds quickly, it has many functions, and you can do MANY things as long as you have the knowledge! I have it as a Drive and have created 2 users, one for myself and one for the rest of the family. I have set it to constantly sync with my computer. Any files I have on my computer go to the NAS, so I don't need a large disk on my computer. I have also connected it to all my Xiaomi Cameras so that all the footage goes there! Additionally, I have also connected my mobile phone to the Moments application so that all the photos and videos from my phone are stored inside! These are roughly the functions I perform. With these functions, the NAS performs flawlessly, it does not use much CPU, and the RAM is on average at 40-50%.

It is an excellent Entry Level NAS and for the first time I bought a Home NAS, I was very satisfied with its functions, its operating system, and its capabilities!
For those who want to do the basics and not crazy things like Plex 4K, hosting websites, having users, and many other things that NAS can do, it is a very good NAS!
I recommend using HDD Ironwolf or Ironwolf Pro (NAS) disks, don't go elsewhere, it is BY FAR the best solution! As for SSD, I haven't looked into it because I don't have such a fast LAN speed that it is worth going for a faster disk.
My LAN speed is 1000M (or 1G)
