I use mine as a backup and file server. It fast and reliable. Energy saving also. ### ⭐ DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT *by J***N on February 23, 2010* I'm not kidding. First it wiped out all my data. I called Promise support and they said "Oh you only have two drives" you need at least 3 to protect your data. So stupidly I believed them and added a third drive. TEN DAYS to migrate to raid 5, but whatever, I was protected. NOPE. Lost all my data again. Get this, when I called them they said I should have had my data backed up, 6TB of data, where do you back that up?? Isn't that the point of a RAID? Here is what they said, I could have backed up to another RAID. I assume they meant to a different manufacturers product as theirs is a piece of CRAP. Unless you are looking for a product to help you get ridden of sensitive irreplaceable data DO USE THIS PRODUCT. All that said, it is made of cheap plastic with a cheap laptop power supply underneath. I'm kid you not, you turn if over and it is kind of in an opening in the bottom. You were warned if you buy this piece of JUNK and lose your data.On a positive note Amazon stepped up with NO problems and accepted a return on the product. I hope their warehouse doesn't fill up with piles of these pieces of junk after Promise goes out of business from the class action suits. ### ⭐⭐ Decent hardware package but the NAS OS needs work *by B***M on October 22, 2009* Out of the box, this NAS is attractive. However, the OS on this box needs work. If you are technically inclined please read on.After I added my 4 1.5TB drives and powered it on. It showed up under Bonjour->Webpages in Safari. I was able to configure it very quickly. Promise got this part right. I was planning to use it as a media and file storage in our home network that is 100% Mac based. So, I enabled AFP for file-sharing and enabled FireFly for iTunes media sharing. I also turned on DLNA for experimentation. So far so good. When I attempted to transfer over 2 TB of content from my FreeNAS server using my MacPro I started seeing problems. I could not transfer more than 20-30 GB without the NS4600 disappearing from the network completely requiring a reboot of NS4600. Promise tech support is very accessible but could not help me, they first blamed it on my OS saying that said they had not qualified their product on Snow Leopard and asked me to try it under Leopard and try using Samba (SMB). So I installed Leopard in a different volume and tried AFP share first. That exhibited the same problem I saw in Snow Leopard. Then I tried SMP on Leopard, that worked but was about 28% slower than AFP (BTW, I have not seen SMB outperform AFP in any of the NAS systems I have tested). SMB worked fine in SnowLeopard as well. At that point, I disabled SMB, enabled AFP, and retried copying files using my Mac Pro running Snow Leopard. This time the copy worked! Something about using SMB once seems to have made my NS4600 happy! So, the AFP implementation in NS-4600 is unreliable and Promise did not have anything to say about it when I asked them for comments.FireFly iTunes server had difficulty streaming my movie files. They should show up as movie files in iTunes on my Mac. But, when I tried playing, only the audio part would play. This is apparently a known bug that will be fixed in a future update.Because of these problems, I retuned my NS4600 back to Amazon and got a Synology DS-409 as a replacement. So far the Synology DS-409 is working well. I would recommend that over the Promise NS-4600 based on my experience. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/13969662-smartstor-ns4600-raid-5-nas-media-server](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/13969662-smartstor-ns4600-raid-5-nas-media-server) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
