QNAP has done it again with its mid-sized SMB and corporate environment five bay TS-559 Pro NAS. Equipped with a dual- core Intel Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and two Gigabit ethernet connections, this unit will surely keep up with whatever you throw at it.

QNAP has always managed to stay in the forefront of NAS technology. Whenever there’s a new processor that is capable of doing more while costing less and taking up less power, QNAP jumps on the technology to create a new model. The new QNAP TS-259 Pro with the Intel Atom processor is a snappy little beast with a very big bite.

Not everyone will need a four or eight drive NAS device, but a two drive NAS is certainly something nice to have at home. It’s big enough to store several terabytes of data and meets the bare minimum to create a mirrored setup for ultimate reliability.

There are few times when I don’t think a NAS would come in handy at my house. I have 3 notebooks, 2 computers, a PDA and an iPhone in the house. Being able to access all my files anywhere in the house is a blessing. While I could file share it all off a single PC, a powerful NAS offers better speed and more features than your PC.

“Bigger isn’t always better” is a statement QNAP must not like to hear with their TS-809 Pro now being the largest Turbo NAS in their fleet. With space for 8 drives, this behemoth will make sure you’re network doesn’t ever run out of storage space.

QNAP is making its presence felt in the NAS industry with solutions for everyone. The QNAP TS-209 Pro II fits the bill for anyone looking for a small, flexible and powerful NAS. It provides 2 drives configurable as a bunch of disks, RAID 0 or 1 and offer a download management interface and doubles as a webserver, media & iTunes servers.
