Performance and reliability

The combination of a quad-core Intel Atom processor and expandable DDR4 memory keeps data transfers responsive even under heavy multitasking. Cache acceleration through M.2 NVMe slots significantly reduces latency and improves throughput compared to hard drive-only configurations. The cooling system with smart PWM fan control and tall heatsinks maintains optimal temperatures, enabling reliable 24/7 operation. Security features like AES encryption and a built-in firewall protect sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Ideal uses and environments

This NAS is well suited to video production studios, design teams, and IT departments that require fast, reliable access to large files and virtual machines. Its high-speed networking and scalable storage make it a strong choice for multi-editor workflows, virtualized test labs, and offices with many simultaneous users. The flexible installation options and robust backup capabilities also support growing businesses that need dependable data management and long-term storage expansion.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
