RETURNED AFTER 2 DAYS:
Just like any computer, you should try to add the most amount of RAM memory that you can. This one comes with 2gb of RAM, which the factory says it can take up to 8gb. But in some YouTube videos, I watched them put in 16gb of RAM, even from their technician videos.
But that did not work for me, I tried 8gb, 16gb, then just 4gb and it only worked and booted up once. All other attempts failed. I contacted their tech support and they tried to tell me to use a different brand. BRANDS DON'T MATTER AS MUCH as the specs on the RAM sticks. I had exactly what was recommended, and I proved it to them. After about 6 hours of hell, I gave up.
I returned it and ordered the QNAP TS-451+ unit, 4 drives instead of 3. And I watched YouTube videos on that one also, adding 16gb of RAM to this one was a breeze. AND IT WORKS. I've had it now for about 5 days and loving it so far, with many apps to use, I added [4] 4tb drives using RAID 5, so I have a max of 12TB of space. I split it into 3 volumes for Data and Photographs. And then once my data was added, setup Dropbox and ShareFile for a cloud storage. So now I have 3 copies of all the data from 4 computer systems. I also copied data from old drives thru the USB-3 port as an external drive. Worked great. No issues yet.
