ts 469 prob

   The TurboNAS TS-469 Pro by QNAP is without doubt a wonderful piece of hardware which will certainly cover 99% of the users out there (especially pros) due to its excellent hardware and software specifications. The 2.13GHz dual Atom processor along with the 1GB of DDR3 RAM (expandable to 3GB) make for a fine combination since not even once did we notice any speed issues while the 4 available drive bays give you a total available capacity of up to 16TB (and even more as new drives get released). The Web Interface is still my favorite since it's by far the most user friendly i have seen, that however is something that comes down to personal preference. Honestly i can't seem to find anything bad with the TurboNAS TS-469 Pro with sole exception the lack of support for many IP camera models in the market currently (if not most), something which i hope will change soon.

 

   As we speak the current retail price tag of around USD799 (Newegg) inside the USA and around 790Euros inside the EU for the TurboNAS TS-469 Pro by QNAP may seem a bit high at first but you need to understand that for people who actually need the incredible extra muscle, features and drive bays it's actually not. On the other hand if you don't really need the extra drive bays you can always choose the TurboNAS TS-259 Pro+ which is quite cheaper and is not much slower, specs-wise that is (although it lacks some of the features found with the 469 Pro). Personally i can live with just 2 bays so the TS-469 Pro seems just a bit overkill for my home/office requirements, still it works as advertised, it's extremely fast and gives you up to 16TB of storage so what more can any professional ask for? Because of all of the above we are awarding the QNAP TurboNAS TS-469 Pro with our Platinum Award.
