    • I found out the hard way that Western Digital "Green" drives are not compatible, even though they're listed
    • If you are geeky enough to buy one of these for home, then you can find your way to the QNAP website <grin>.Minor Cons:You can't carve out logical storage and break up a physical 2TB drive into two 1TB logical drives
    • With the WD drives, I experienced frequent lockups and had troubles even initializing the drives in the first place
    • I suggest using efficient drives over performance models due to the limitations of the NAS not even coming close to saturating these lower performance drives
    • Opened the boxes and smiled like a child in a candy store while Im mounting my hard drives
    • The latches on the drive bays could have been a bit more solid, the locks are really just there to prevent accidental drive removal, but will do little to no good against forced entry
    • Make sure you buy compatible drives, you cannot use desktop drives although WD has a line of WD Red drives that I understand are compatible and cheaper than the Data Center drives
    • After figuring out what kind of raid type and how much I wanted to spend for my system I finally decided to get this QNAP 569L, I figured that if im going for a Raid 5 might as well go for the most hard drives i can afford, (since using raid 5 will get you less 1 disk to the total capacity).Bought ST4000DM000 x 5 for a total of 16gb (I know it would be less after I build the raid.

    • One thing that I do like about the Dune is that it has an eSATA connection for an external hard drive

    • Does everything it says. . .plays back folders, ISOs without problemsExcellent picture - haven't tried hard drive (a little concerned on file format) internally, externally no problems.
    • No hard drives failed so not even a RAID 6 config would have worked; they were just bereft of data
    • The solid State drive makes it very fast.
    • The eSATA drives do not have this issue.
