QNAP TS-216G External HDD/SSD Reviews

Works well, but not easy to set up

By Christian
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-18

The NAS does work well, once it is all set up. But it's not super easy to get it set up. I'm a "home user" and reasonably tech literate, and there were definitely some things that weren't obvious and weren't described in the online manuals and help articles. So I had to go back and forth with the help desk twice before it was flying. Once that was done, I will say that the storage is fast and easy to access from anywhere; that music streamed to my Bluesound Node 2i is VASTLY improved over my previous HDD; and that the optional apps offered by Qnap seem to be very useful. Just hope it stays solid for a long time. I had a WD MyCloud Home previously, that failed after less than 2 years.

Upgrade from WD cloud

Replaced WD personal home cloud that was 5 years old. WD absent from NAS cloud products. That said QNAP so much better than paying for cloud service. Set this up as RAID-1. Great features and still learning.

Could you please confirm that this doesn't ...

Could you please confirm that this doesn't support Raid 5?
Asked by: Rajnesh
The QNAP TS-216G 2-Bay NAS Enclosure does not support RAID 5 and is only capable of RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD. Only enclosures with three or more bays (and a minimum of three drives installed) can support RAID 5.

Asked by: dean
The QNAP TS-216G 2-Bay NAS Enclosure, B&H # QNTS216US, is designed to be used in the vertical position—we would not recommend using it on its side.
