Is that typical for QNAP to allow alternative OS installs? I know with Synology you cannot.

I have Debian running on my TS-451A for quite a while now. Except the front LEDs, everything is working completely fine. It is pretty much just a plain x86_64 PC with an UEFI firmware. The TS-251A is exactly the same but with 2 instead of 4 drive bays, as far as I know.

It's very neat for its low power usage and small form factor.

Raw debian right and not the qnap vm?

How did you layout the partitions?

What's on the 512m internal?

I have one in the basement I've tried to install one too many times and I need to remotivate.
