New Budget NAS’ from QNAP this 2016
Alongside this it also includes a sneaky 4GB of Flash memory to keep the NAS OS running smoothly for you. Of course besides cost, the other reason many people for for low end NAS servers like these and the Synology DS216J is that power consumption is remarkably low! If you intend to have this NAS device on 24/7, then it is certainly worth acquainting yourself with the figures. So,
For the 1-Bay TS-128, you use:
5.03W in Standby (idle)
12.01W whilst in Operation
And for the 2 Bay TS-228 you will use:
6.05W in Standby (idle)
13.24W whilst in Operation
Design wish the units closely resemble the recently released Android NAS devices from QNAP, the TAS-128 and TAS-228. Featuring:
- 1 X USB 3.0 (Front)
- One Touch Copy Button
- Multiple LEDs for Drive Health and Access
- Front mounted SD Card Slot
- Dismantle HDD installation
If we turn the units around we see
- 1x Gigabit LAN
- 1 X USB 2.0 (Rear)
Also, they are very petite at
TS-128 – 187.7 x 60 x 125 mm
TS-228 – 187.7 x 90 x 125 mm
For those looking to find out what the Read & Write transmissions are on these devices, I am pleased to report that respectively:
TS-128 – 101MB/s Read and 69 MB/s Write
TS-228 – 99MB/s Read and 64 MB/s Write
Lastly, both of these new NAS devices from QNAP featuring the following:
- Runs on QTS (currently 4.2)
- Supports DLNA so you can access from your Network Attached Dervices like Smart TVs. iPads, PS4 and more
- The 2 Bay arrives with RAID 1 as an option so you can have full data redundancy
- Mobile and Desktop Apps as well as common browser support so lots of access
- Not really made for Transcoding Video so not suitable for Plex either. Also no HDMI port so no access to your media direct direct access or HD Station.
- Can sync between the common cloud services such as Dropbpx, Google drive, OneDrive, etc so you can migrate your data over or have it as more backup offsite
- Acts as a bridge between different OS’ in your network so you can send and share files easily between a Mac and a Windows Machine
- The maximum number of concurrent downloads for an ARM-based NAS is 30 (10 BT/PT downloads, 10 HTTP, 10 FTP downloads) so you can add, remove or generally monitor many, many downloads easily and quickly.
- With the help of Surveillance Station on QTS, the TS-128 and TS228 Include 2 free camera licenses and can provide up to 8 camera channel support by purchasing additional licenses
