Professional reviewers consider the DS925+ a solid, future-proof 4-bay NAS for small businesses, emphasizing its ECC memory, strong Ryzen CPU, and fast 2.5 GbE networking.
Everyday users generally commend the DS925+ for its quiet operation, low power consumption, and flexible expandability, especially the option to add NVMe caching.
Professional reviewers commend the F8 SSD series for delivering desktop-class performance in a palm-sized chassis, with the Plus model's i3-N305 and 16 GB DDR5 providing a clear boost for virtualization and 4K media tasks. However, they caution that the OS's 40 GB footprint and the 45 W power draw under load diminish its efficiency, and the single 10 GbE port may be a limitation for enterprise-grade redundancy.
Everyday users love the silent, portable nature of the device and its lightning-fast 10 GbE transfers, noting the ease of tool-free SSD swaps and upgradable memory. Recurring frustrations focus on the OS consuming significant space, higher power usage, limited Ethernet options, and occasional heat under sustained workloads.
“Super quiet and portable-like two phones”
“Fast 1024MB/s transfers”
“OS eating 40GB per SSD”
