ZYXEL NAS326 TS-228 QNAP TS-228 ASUSTOR AS-1002T cheapest network drive

I have these 3 options available – which have more or less the same price;

ZYXEL NAS326
TS-228 QNAP TS-228
ASUSTOR AS-1002T

Which one would you prefer?

 

Answer: If this is only for storing your files, get the cheapest one. But if you need some more functions than that, that Qnap TS-228 . Qnap will offer you similar functions like Dropbox version control. Also many apps you can choose from.
