THE TURBONAS TS-420

The TurboNAS TS-420 follows the same design as most NAS Servers by QNAP and measures 177mm in height, 180mm in width and 235mm in depth with a weight of 3kg.

On the front right side of the units body we see a perforated section.

As expected from older models the QNAP logo is placed on the upper left corner of the front fascia and further beneath it we see the power on/off button along with the one copy button placed above a USB 2.0 port.

Next to the QNAP logo there are 4 status activity LEDs (system, LAN, USB status and eSATA).

A small sticker with the HDD sequence is placed right above.

The 4 drive trays may not feature locks like the more expensive models but they are made out of aluminum and can hold both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

For a "basic" model the TS-420 certainly has an impressive number of connectors at the rear.

So from top to bottom we see the 90mm exhaust fan (41.3CFM/39.3dBA), reset switch, two eSATA ports, two Gigabit ports, two USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0 port, DC in and finally a Kensington lock.

Because of time restrictions this is as far as we went into the interior of the TurboNAS TS-420 but at first chance we will update this section with more pictures.
