THE TURBONAS TS-221

QNAP once again has used the same dual bay design as pretty much always with measurements of 216mm depth, 102mm width, 150mm height and 1.74kg weight.

The forward area on both sides of the housing is perforated to allow hot air to exit the device.

At the front we see the usual fascia design with the activity LEDS, power on/off button, one touch backup button and a USB 2.0 port on the left.

The QNAP logo is placed right above the drive bays.

Both drive bays are hot-swappable and are made by aluminum however unlike more high-end solutions they lack locks.

A convenient HD sequence sticker is placed at the top.

As always the rear features most of the NAS connectors.

So here we see the 70mm exhaust fan, 2 eSATA ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, RJ-45 Ethernet port, Kensington lock, rest button and the DC power in.

Removing the top cover is very easy you just need to remove the 3 small screws at the rear and pull the cover backwards.

On the interior side of the PCB we see the Marvel 6282 2.0GHz CPU (beneath the large heatsink) and the 1GB DDR3 SDRAM by Hynix.
