As a highly anticipated product, the T2 Portable NAS has some concerns in terms of user experience and design, although it excels in some aspects.
Merit:
Simple design: The appearance of the T2 portable NAS is made of aluminum alloy shell, with a simple design and good heat dissipation performance, giving people a modern look.
Hardware configuration: Equipped with RK3568 processor, 4GB DDR4 memory and 32GB eMMC flash memory, multi-interface support including 2.5G Ethernet port, HDMI 2.0, C port, A port, SD card slot, providing comprehensive connection options.
Portability: Compact size, support power supply of mobile power supply, get rid of the shackles of power cords, suitable for carrying out and using.
Multi-functional design: It supports network disk synchronization and a variety of download tools, has a Blu-ray player function, and the design of U disk mode and SD card slot makes it possible to read data quickly without a network.
Shortcoming:
Workmanship problems: Some users reported that the workmanship was rough and the design sense was lacking, which affected the overall visual experience.
Hardware experience: There are problems with the equipped screwdriver in actual use, the screws are difficult to turn, and the screws of the rear compartment cover need to be brought by the user.
Features not yet available: Many features are currently only in the promotional stage, and are not officially launched, and only the last option to play a video is available in the video mode.
Power supply problem: Although the product is small, it still needs to carry an additional mobile power bank for power supply when using it on the go, and the use time is limited and not convenient.
Confusion in UI optimization: Users reported that the app pairing process was not smooth, and the device could not be searched for many times, and there was confusion in the UI.
Remote control experience: The included remote control needs to be paired by the user, and the operation delay is very obvious, and I hope to improve it in future versions.
U disk mode is not practical: The U disk mode is not interconnected with the NAS space, additional power supply is required, and the speed of the simulated U disk is not ideal, which is not practical compared to the built-in U disk.
Cost-effective problem: In general, the cost performance of the Polar Space T2 is relatively low, the configuration is average, and there is no obvious advantage over other portable NAS products on the market.
The overall experience is not smooth: There is a sense of separation between the various modes, and the overall experience is not smooth enough, which seems to be a product that is rushing to market.
While the T2 portable NAS has some features that appeal to users, there are some key issues that need to be improved. It is hoped that future product versions will pay more attention to details and improve the user experience, making the Polar Space T2 an even better portable NAS product.
