Synology recently released multitasking operating software and QNAP have recently updated their own software package to offer a more responsive user interface while splitting all functionality into easily understood sub categories.
We browsed to the IP of the NAS unit, and were immediately greeted with a welcoming configuration interface.
The software package guides the user through all the necessary main stages to configure the NAS system. All of these settings can be changed later.
The TS-259 Pro+ supports single drive configurations, Raid 0 and Raid 1 and JBOD linear disk volumes to cover all dual drive requirements and demands. Once we are happy with the final setup choices we can quickly overview the listing before formatting the installed disks.
The main panel is a very stylishly designed piece of software with an Apple Macintosh ‘dock' feel about it. There are many quick ways to access the support forums and to talk directly to customer service, but most of the functionality is handled by the main administration panel.
Built like a tank, as always. love their products.
compares well against the synology 710 unit, a little slower, but not really noticeable, but more suited to business market with design rather than home market. room for both I think.
QNAP, our business uses a mixture of their older products, nice to see them sprucing up their performance with this generation.
excellent product, bit much for what I need at home, but pricing seems good.
QNAP and Synology certainly are going toe to toe. both are really delivering this year so far. its nice to see a company drive another harder
