Really great entry level NAS
This is a really great entry level NAS for anyone who wants to have a NAS but doesn’t want to deal with all the admin that comes with a lot of NAS systems.
Out of the box, this device just works - I wouldn’t say it’s easy enough for your mom to use, but if you know what an ip address is you can probably figure this thing out. It automatically creates web access + smb access, and sets up a secure username and password for you that is shared across both places.
You can also choose to encrypt the disk when you first set it up, if you are worried about the device itself getting stolen with sensitive data.
In a recent update they have unlocked the ability to use this as a Home Assistant server and a Plex server. I have set up the Plex side of that, and it works perfectly- can handle multiple direct play streams to my Apple TV, iPad, and computer at the same time. Not a huge surprise, since the hardware in here is more powerful that Synologys, WD, Qnaps, etc. that are twice the price.
I don’t personally use this for photo backup, but the app makes it easy enough to set that up.
All in all, if you want an easy to maintain NAS that that’s relatively affordable - and you don’t need many TBs of redundant data (i.e. if the built in 512GB + an external drive is enough for you) then this is hard to beat.

It's a personal cloud for my photos & files
Love: personal cloud access to files. Hate: how difficult it is to sort or manage, having to bypass the dashboard to try to save to my backup harddrive.

Great as backup but rooms for improvement
Love the seamless setup and automatic backup feature. hate that i can't create public link to share for my albums. hate that the people i share with must have an Amber account.

Convenient
Works as expected. I needed cloud without subscription, without hassle over configuring the device or worrying about security. The best part is being able to expand how much it can hold so you wouldn’t need to buy another one of these or be shoved onto a subscription when space runs out.

Safe and Easy to use
I’m an IG content creator and we take tons of photos, this device was super easy to setup and use. Ideal for safe sharing within my family and accessible on the go.
