Very slow NAS

[jaysona]

I suspect this is the NAS pinkytwister is soapboxing about.

I have had QNAP for over 8 years and have seen the GUI interface and new features improve, but at what cost? RAM and CPU? Hung system? High memory usage with just the basic features installed. CPU maxed and unable to perform the touted features essential on any NAS. So solution buy a new QNAP NAS..... Which I did and guess what out of the box set up for just basic features the QNAP GUI interface hangs, the memory is not sufficient and usability is questionable...... Are others having similar experiences? I used to love the QNAP NAS, but in the last 2 years with SO MANY PATCHES and updates I am a concerned NAS owner.

Yes, I've had mine for about as long as you. Always been a piece of crap, slow even for a home with just 4 users at most. And most of the time it's just me. Could wait minutes just for directory shares to load. A restart always fixed it and got it responsive again and able to click thru directories almost as good as a proper file server. But still, the copying of files is always slow and in bursts.
I kept it around because it made my backing up easier. But now that I am no longer able to backup to my amazon drive for a few months. I'm thinking it's time to say bye-bye QNAP, and hopefully, breathe easier with another solution in a small quiet box. My model is TS-41.
