Q1: Power Consumption and Hardware Issues
A1: Device power consumption depends on the number of hard drives used. Generally, the total power consumption is calculated as: motherboard power consumption + hard drive power consumption. The motherboard consumes approximately 5W, plus N × (hard drive power consumption in watts).
*(Example: A 4-bay model consumes about 1.5 kWh over 24 hours; a 7-bay model consumes about 2 kWh over 24 hours.)*
Q2: How Long Is the Hard Drive Lifespan? Can It Remain Powered On All Year Round?
A2: All hard drives have a limited lifespan, which varies depending on the specific model and usage conditions. The actual duration depends on individual usage patterns. For long-term operation, it is recommended to configure scheduled power on/off and scheduled sleep modes.
Friendly Reminder: Hard drives are consumable components. It is advisable to periodically check their health status. Always power off and disconnect the device before inserting or removing hard drives. Important data should be backed up in multiple locations.
Q3: What Is the Difference Between the 2-Bay and 5-Bay Models?
A3: The main differences lie in the number of HDD bays and supported RAID array modes. Models with more bays (e.g., 7-bay) support a wider range of RAID configurations.
Q4: How Many Fans Are Equipped in My NAS Device?
A4:
HS200-Pro: Equipped with 2 fans.
HS500-Pro: Equipped with 3 fans.
CS200-pro: Equipped with 3 fans.
Q5: Can It Connect to Third-Party Devices for Automatic Storage Backup? For Example, Automatically Back Up Cloud Videos from Devices Like Xiaomi Cameras (Live Backup)
A5:Yes, as long as the camera supports the Samba protocol, it can be connected for automatic backup.
Q6: Is Low-Level System Login Supported?
A6: Not currently supported. This feature is already scheduled for optimization—please stay tuned for updates.
Q7: Is CPU Upgrade or DIY Supported?
A7: Currently, none of ORICO's NAS products support CPU replacement.
