QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS

We have looked over a massive amount of data, somewhere in the range of several thousand datapoints isn’t exactly out of the question. The TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS is certainly the largest NAS we have reviewed to date with a capacity of no less than 8 hard drives. With 1.5TB drives this one NAS could hold 12TB of storage!

QNAP TS-809 Pro

The TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS has great overall performance; for the most part, we see little differentiation between RAID 0 and RAID 5 or 6. That’s a good thing for those looking for redundancy but not wanting to compromise on speed.

The TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS isn’t only good on performance; QNAP has provided the full package with many built-in features. This includes print server, webserver, dataserver, multimedia server and download manager to name a very small list.
While the TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS commands a premium price, you get a premium product. The only shortcoming is the 1 year warranty but for any digitally inclined household or business, the TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS is seriously worth considering.

Advantages

  • Extensive data storage capacity

  • Flexible RAID configuration, quick setup
  • New firmware is a huge improvement in design
  • Many sever applications and software features available

Disadvantages

  • Firmware provided on install CD needs to be replaced with version 3.1.0!

  • 1 year warranty

Thank you QNAP for making this review possible.
