Strong feature set
The EX2 is a dual-bay (two-drive) box available in 4TB ($370), 6TB ($470), and 8TB ($570) flavors. The drives come from the factory configured as RAID 1 (the same data is written to both drives, so that if one drive fails, you can recover all your data from the other). As such, the 4TB model reviewed here actually yields 2TB of storage.
Blah performance
The EX2 proved a decent performer with large files, writing our single 10GB file at 65MBps and reading it at 66MBps. Now those aren’t QNAP – or Synology-like numbers, but they’re acceptable for a consumer box. Writing our 10GB mix of files and folders at 18.5MBps and reading it at 29MBps, on the other hand, is just barely acceptable.
