Excellent Quality/Price

I bought this HDD after reading several reviews stating that it has a WD Red drive inside, and it does. At $180 it is a huge deal.
The drive can get pretty warm since it uses passive cooling, but I'm not too worried about it since I will be using it to perform a once a month backup from my NAS and then I will store it offsite until the next month.
I highly recommend this drive.

Works very well

I have always wondered what's the difference between very expensive HDMI cables and the cheap ones, and to this day I still don’t know. These Insignia HDMI cables are not the cheapest out there, but the price is good. They work very well and supported 4K from my Shield TV without issues at all.
I just wish I had bought them a little bit shorter in order to facilitate cable management on my media center.

Great for home use

I bought this NAS to use as a storage device for my movies/videos (both Full HD and 4K) and play them using my Shield TV and it’s been working wonderful for this purpose. Normally I don’t have too many users connected to it at the same time, but once I was reading (copying to a laptop) several GBs of video files while playing a Full HD movie at the same time (NAS --> Shield TV) and I didn’t have any issues at all, the movie played perfectly.
I stuffed the NAS with one 8TB WD Red and a 2TB Surveillance HDD (I don’t recall the manufacturer), and used Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR). So far so good. I’m planning to upgrade the 2TB HDD to 8TB by the end of the year, and SHR should make the process very easy.
One feature that I was looking for to use a lot was Synology Download Station, but I found it to be very crippled on features and not useable at all with multiple download links (it downloads one and marks the rest as failed, no matter how many times I try, it is always the same). So I deducted a star for this.
I’m not using any of the features that allow me to access my NAS from the Internet (outside my network), since I don’t really need this and I don’t want to expose myself to hackers trying to enter. I used the built in firewall to block all IP addresses except for the ones assigned to a couple of laptops and the Shield TV, and it works very well. Just make sure that your router will always assign the same IP address to your client device, or you may find yourself locked out of your own NAS (it happened to me once, good thing I remembered what the IP address was and manually changed it).
Also, assigning usernames and passwords with different access restrictions is very easy. I made it like this to avoid the possibility of other family members deleting important stuff by mistake. I have some folders that they can’t see at all and some others with read only permissions.
Great NAS for home use!

Lots of space, not too much noise

I've been using this HDD on a NAS for over a month already, it has plenty of space for my needs (movie storage), and it doesn't make that much noise.
You can definitely hear it if you sit close to it, but you won't notice it at all when watching movies and/or if you have another source of noise running (like a mini-split AC).
I'm planning to buy another one to set them up as Raid 1, but I'll wait until Black Friday, maybe I'm lucky and can get it for cheap.
