Dang on surface this seemed great but after watching the video I realized it's throttled to hell.

Very helpful review. It was first time I'd seen that channel, and it seems like a good one.

I think the key takeaway is that this NAS performs below expectations, but it is not fundamentally broken. At least, as long as the manufacturer didn't cut enough corners to affect its long-term reliability or longevity.

The reviewer evaluated its value at a $340 price point. As the price drops, though, it becomes a more viable option. It is still a compact, self-contained barebones system with four easily accessible internal drive bays. You just need to be comfortable with roughly 450 MB/s maximum combined read/write throughput across the SATA drives. That is more than adequate for uses such as backups or transcoding a couple of video streams.

I already have a pair of 4 GB DDR4 sticks that I do not have much use for, along with a few 2–4 TB hard drives. I even have a fairly underwhelming 128 GB NVMe drive. In that sense, this NAS being underwhelming might be a blessing in disguise: if it pushes the price down, it could be a good fit for the underwhelming parts I have lying around.

It's a great channel and there's several other channels with great NAS/Homelab content. If I was just getting started I might roll the dice on this one. I started with terramaster which wasn't great and now I use another poorly rated mini PC lol.
