I bought a Terramaster instead. Better hardware specs for the money and you can overwrite the OS with Linux which is way better than any stock OS.
This is what I’ll replace my DS415+ with, too, once it dies. The TerraMasters are basically bog-standard Intel NUCs with a storage adapter. And there’s HDMI output and an internal USB drive which you can just replace (or overwrite) and install OMV or TrueNAS or whatever.
Their website looks pretty sketchy, ngl
Sketch? Nah bro, that is exactly the kind of "This looked sick in the early 2000s and we haven't bothered updating it since" level of design that I want to see from a hardware vendor. That's a company that's just sitting there quietly trucking along, making nerdy devices for nerdy people. That's a website that was never intended to be viewed by anyone other than a 30+ year old sysadmin who owns at least one beard grooming product.
Somewhere, a [email protected] denizen looks offended.
Sorry, you're absolutely correct, I should have added "... or a pair of thigh highs."
Shameful oversight on my part.
Exactly, what's the point?
Mine has an internal USB so you can open it up pretty easily and install any version of Linux you prefer. Not sure what model you bought, but I would assume you can too.
That stinks. I have the F4-424 Pro and I love it.
Like you said, sketchy OS, that is probably less performant than Linux and may not get proper security updates.
