QNAP TS-209 Pro II NAS

Feb 24th, 2009 | By Simon

QNAP has certainly provided a product with features not commonly found on a NAS. In doing so, they have enabled your home user to great a powerful 24/7 server running on a fraction of the power typically required for an all out computer. You can setup your own database and webserver while having an online photo gallery, print server and iTunes server that can be accessed by anyone on your network. You can back files up through one of many USB drives or even access it via (S)FTP/HTTP. You can even start remote downloads using QDownload which I think is a blessing. The graphical user interface may not be pretty but QNAP has spend a lot of time making sure you can set everything up with ease.

For the most part, the performance of the TS-209 Pro II is on par with all other 2 drive NAS devices that I’ve worked with. You will average around the 15MB/s write and 25-30MB/s read. It’s not the fastest NAS on the market, but the bountiful features make up for that. Installation is quick and easy and with 2 1TB hard drives, you can have a massive network drive ready for all in minutes.

Advantages

  • NAS has lots of features

  • Reduces power consumption compared to servers

Disadvantages

  • Only 1 network interface

I’d like to thank QNAP for making this review possible.
