The have zero problem so far with the N5550. It's been running 24/7 since it was purchased during the boxing week with 4 Seagate Constellation in a RAID 5 array. Read / write throughput have been excellent between 80-110 MB/s. This is super fast compared to my 4 year old but reliable ReadyNAS NV+ ~ 20-25 MB/s. The ReadyNAS is now a backup for the N5550. Overall I am very happy with my purchase from a price / performance perspective. Make sure you upgrade the firmware to the later .08 version right away as mine came with the old .03 release, which might have stability issues when transferring a large amount data.

This is a great NAS. It is very quick and I have not encountered any slowdowns or performance degredation. Consistantly able to max out 1GB LAN connection. Feature set for modules could be improved through better interfaces.

Have had no problems with this NAS box. Was simple to set up with 4 3TB WD Red hard drives in RAID 10. Excellent transfer speed via the eSATA or USB 3. Had it up and running on my home network in a about 15min. For the price I think it is excellent.

Got this and put in 5 HDs off of their HCL. I would NEVER buy this again. Totally unreliable, from misreported drive failures to it's inability to bulk copy/move data without crashing.
