Patriot Valkyrie 2 Bay NAS
Apr 2nd, 2010 | By JaredSo at the end of it all where does the Patriot Valkyrie 2 Bay NAS stand? I think Patriot hits on their goal of building an inexpensive NAS device that has some nice services for the end consumer such as a print server, download manager and iTunes to name a few. It is extremely simple to setup and get running in no time at all.
With that being said, don’t expect enterprise level performance as the Valkyrie is aimed more at the home user than the office environment. The Valkyrie is an attractive unit that should perform well enough for the general home user that wants a simple and easy to setup network storage device.
- Advantages
- Price
- Easy to configure and setup
- Consistent performance
- Disadvantages
- External power adapter required
- Surprising RAID results
Thank you Patriot for making this review possible.
