Seagate PRO NAS DP6 Review

Seagate fine job of limiting access to the internal components.  There is a nice mix of Torx and Phillips Head to make it just annoying enough that you may not crack her open.  There is no security tape and no indication that the internal memory is upgradeable or inaccessible for that matter.

Once the Torx are removed, the noctua fan presents itself.  I am happily surprised that Seagate chose a name brand fan instead of a $0.23 fan from alibaba.com.

The system board is relatively easy to access.  The cover can be removed with just a few screws and the system memory is front and center.

The NAS uses Trancend DDR3L ram rated at 1.35V, sports timing of 11-11-11, is 512Mx8 bit, and moves data at a rate of 1600Mbps.

Passive cooling is all that is required to keep the Intel 1.7Ghz dual-core CPU cool, calm, and collected.

The motherboard features a PHISON PS2251-03 micro-controller.
