## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many 4tb disks does tr-004-44r-us include?**
A: None. It's the RAID controller and enclosure only. you buy the disks separately in the size of your choosing. I recommend that you use one of the following models: WD Red, WD Gold , WD Purple, Seagate  Ironwolf, or Seagate Skyhawk. These drives are made for use in RAID arrays, and will give you far fewer issues with the array loosing sync and having to rebuild. I'm using WD Red drives in a RAID 5 configuration in mine and love them. I've had the array up and running for almost a year and have never had any problems at all. Make sure to use 4 drives of the same size, make, and model for best performance and reliability.

**Q: Is it possible to password protect this device?**
A: Not native to the device.  It is just an external USB drive array.  It can be managed from a QNAP NAS and you can password protect data from within the app, but you cannot password protect the actual drive itself.

**Q: I can leave this turn on 24/7 like any other nas like synology units? note: i know this is a das not a nas**
A: I don't have this model, but yes to your answer. You can leave it on 24/7/365 if you want. whatever you have it connected to will control it and put it in sleep mode when not in use.

**Q: 1. Can I plug this into my pc to expand its storage?
2. Can I use this with a c to usb adapter as my pc does not have a c slot**
A: 1. Yes.  You might/probably need to download their management software
2. Don't need an adapter because the PC connection is via a common USB type A plug. The "C" end plugs into the device. It's kind of short though.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a lot of criteria, and this fit the bill. So far so good.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States December 31, 2025*

I spent an embarrassingly huge amount of time researching options for my needs. I know reading this you could probably name 2 or 3 other options that would easily fit my criteria, but I'll explain why I chose this one.To start, I use a Mac Mini as a home network server. I run Home Assistant and Jellyfin, primarily, for now.I wanted a DAS that had a physical on and off switch. This one has that; in case of a power failure (it should be connected to a battery backup UPS anyway), it will power back on when power restores. Although I don't store Home Assistant data on this enclosure, I do store Jellyfin media, and I didn't want my family to have to go reset this device in case of a power interruption.I did not want an internal power supply. Some people prefer that, but I figured there's more heat and internal components to fail with an internal power supply. Plus, an internal power supply of a DAS is likely proprietary and not easily replaced like a desktop computer's power supply. This has an in-line power brick, meaning it goes from the DAS to a brick, then uses a traditional C13 (I think, I actually can't remember if it's grounded or not) cord to the wall.I wanted the enclosure to accept 2.5" and 3.5" drives, and both HDD and SSD. This one does. It was not clear in the product description for me if it accepted 2.5 SSDs, but the manual confirmed it, and I am successfully running a combination of HDD and SSD.Though I am not using the hardware or software raid, I wanted the option for that. Right now I have it configured to be individual drives. I cannot attest to the software, but the hardware raid is working for me with the setting I have (configured via switches on the back side of the unit).I also wanted either thunderbolt or USB C, which this has the latter. I wanted to use the Thunderbolt port on my Mac Mini because there are only two USB that I wanted to leave open. I realized I am not getting Thunderbolt speeds, but using spinning hard drives, my bottleneck was those anyway.It is quiet! The hard drives spinning is louder than the fan on the unit. No complaints there.I have the four drive option, and it is about a hard drive wider and taller in dimensions. It's a good size, and isn't too obnoxious sitting in my office. The lights aren't bright, and they could easily be covered with a piece of electrical tape if they are bothersome.As I mentioned, I am using it with a Mac, so it is compatible with that OS. It does also work with Windows.Set up was really easy. I slide out the cages, and if you're using HDDs, there are no tools required. If you want to mount a SSD, you do need to use screws and you will also need to remove one of the side clips that hold in a traditional HDD (you'll see what I mean if you do it). Slide the trays back in, lock if you'd like with the included key, and boot it up! My mac instantly recognized all the drives as external volumes, and they automatically mount any time I need to restart the system.I have transferred many, many TBs so far, and all have been hash verified to be copied perfectly, with no interruptions or disconnects.10/10 would recommend, at least so far. Again, I cannot speak for the RAID aspect of this, so you're on your own there. Will report back if there are any issues.I guess it would be nice if the enclosure was a nice aluminum, but I think the fan does a good job of drawing out heat from the unit. I don't plan on moving this thing around at all, so once it's set up and just sitting there, the durability aspect is fine.Oh, and it was also packed very well. It arrives in a box much bigger than the unit itself, and the DAS is surrounded by plenty of foam.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great affordable RAID enclosure!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States August 21, 2019*

Bottom line: I recommend the TR-004 with drives I mention below (or others on its list of supported drives) in one of the 3 modes: Individual, RAID 1/0, or RAID 5. Please keep in mind that RAID is not a substitute for a good backup. You should always keep a backup copy of anything important on a separate device! If you want to know more details, read on.As an IT professional, I appreciate the benefits of using RAID. It provides faster performance than any one of the drives in the array. How much so depends on the type of array you configure. Configured properly (more on that later*), it provides safety against data loss when a drive fails, and that's always a matter of when, not if. My only complaint with the TR-004 is that the trays that the drives go in are a little flimsy.The down side of RAID is often cost - it's not terribly cheap. Building a home network storage server using it can be expensive because motherboards that support it cost more that those that don't. Using a dedicated controller card is often even more so. I could never convince my better half to let me build a file server with enough storage to meet our needs using RAID because of this - until I found the QNAP TR-004.The TR-004 is a great price when you consider that it has the RAID controller built in. It's an even better value because it supports many of the various popular levels of RAID (more on that later*). Add the fact that you don't have to fill every drive slot to use it, and it's a high value for the money. I put it on a tiny PC also available here on Amazon.com for under $200, and **boom** - instant dedicated file server for home!You need to populate the TR-004 with drives, it comes without any. Get good NAS or other server grade drives. I recommend WD RED, WD PURPLE, or WD GOLD from Western Digital, or Seagate's IronWolf or SkyHawk lines. These drives are specifically designed for use in RAID arrays for Network-Attached Storage, also called NAS (WD RED & IronWolf), security camera systems (WD PURPLE & SkyHawk) or other servers (WD GOLD & IronWolf). They are made for very high reliability. At the very least, use either the Western Digital WD BLACK or high-end Seagate Barracuda drives. Anything cheaper, and you'll end up having problems with your RAID array loosing sync."What's that mean?" you ask? In simple terms, all the drives in a RAID array look, to the computer, like a single giant drive. Data gets spread across the drives in chunks. This is how you get the speed performance increase from RAID. While one drive is busy handling one thing, others are frequently able to handle other things. It's also how you get protection against data loss if a drive fails, when you are using a level of RAID that provides this.* Here's the "more on that later" I promised above. RAID comes in different "levels", referred to as RAID x, where x is a number. All RAID arrays are made up of multiple drives. The TR-004 supports 6 different modes, though I only recommend 4 of them. These modes are:Individual - Every drive in the TR-004 is visible to the computer as a separate drive letter (ie: e:, f:, etc). The drives can all be different models, brands, and sizes. I can recommend this mode, but know that data on each drive will be lost if that drive fails and the data on it isn't backed up elsewhere. If you are going to use this mode, you can use any drive the TR-004 will support, not just the ones I mentioned above.JOBD - This stands for Just One Big Drive. All the space of all the drives is available to the computer as one giant drive. It requires at least 2 drives, but supports as many as the controller can handle, 4 in the case of this enclosure. This mode allows the use of different, models, brands, and even sizes of drives. It works by spreading the data within files across all the drives in the array (as do all the RAID levels in one way or another). DANGER: If any drive fails, all data on all drives in this mode is lost, unless it's backed up elsewhere. I do not recommend this mode.RAID 0 - This is technically the first RAID mode. It's the same as JOBD, with the notable exception that all the drives in the array should be identical, the same exact model number, the same brand, the same size. The only difference their should be is the drives' serial numbers. This requirement is continued to all the rest of the RAID levels. RAID 0 is fast, however it has the same danger as JOBD, so I do not recommend this mode, either.RAID 1/0 - This mode is also know as RAID 10. It requires an even number of identical drives, and a minimum of 4 (all bays filled in the TR-004). It copies 2 RAID 0 arrays between each other. In larger arrays, an even number of identical drives is required for RAID 1/0. This is the fastest of the RAID levels, but it has the drawback of only making half the total space of all the drives combined to the computer (ie: 4 drives of 3 TB each would look like 6 TB to the computer [4 drives * 3 TB = 12 TB, 12 TB / 2 = 6 TB]). Although I do not recommend RAID 0, the fact that there are 2 identical copies of a RAID 0 array, any single drive can fail without loosing data. Therefore, I do recommend RAID 1/0 for speed and data redundancy.RAID 5 - This mode is a good compromise between between the speed of RAID 1/0 and the desire to get more storage space from the drives in the array. RAID 5 also requires at identical drives. It needs a minimum of 3, but can go up from there to however many drives the controller can support, in single drive increments. It achieves redundancy, by spreading data across "stripes" that are duplicated on the multiple drives. At it's absolute simplest, it places 2 copies of each stripe in the array. For example, lets say there are 3 stripes stored in a 3-drive array. We'll call the stripes A, B, & C. We'll call the drives 1, 2, & 3. RAID 5 stores a copy of A on 1 & 2, a copy of B on 2 & 3, and a copy of C on 3 & 1. By doing this, any 1 drive can fail but there is still at least 1 usable copy of all stripes in the array. Replace the failed drive, and the controller will copy the necessary stripes to the new drive. The amount of storage available to the computer is the combined total of the storage on all but one of drives in the array (ie 4 drives of 3 TB each would look like 9 TB to the computer [4 drives -1 = 3 drives, 3 drives * 3 TB = 9 TB]). RAID 5 is not as fast as RAID1/0, but it gives more storage from the same drives, so I do recommend it in particular for home servers, where cost is a bigger consideration that many businesses.SFOTWARE CONTROL: When the TR-004 is in this mode, special software must be downloaded and installed on the computer it is attached to. The mode it will run in will then be controlled by the user from within this software. I do not recommend this mode because if you are going to move the TR-004 from one computer to another, you may accidentally loose everything stored on it. You never know when you may have to move it to another computer - say if the one it's on dies?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After years of having a NAS that eventually died, enjoying something simpler and just works.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 21, 2026*

This is a great DAS product from QNAP. There are a few nitpicks though (some reviewers have also mentioned these):1. The drive trays are cheap plastic and feel like they can break. But they worked fine and didn't.2. If you have an apple silicon mac (M1-M5) then expect to reboot your mac into recovery mode in order to enable system extensions so that the QNAP RAID Manager software will work. They did just come out with a native apple silicon version so it should work with MacOS 27 (MacOS 27 stripped out Intel support). The QNAP RAID Manager is not necessary for it to work, it will just give you more information like the health status of disks, etc.3. The disks do go to sleep after no activity. For me it only takes a few seconds before they all spin up again when you start using the DAS.4. Performance was as expected in RAID-5.
