Qnap TS-469 Pro TurboNas

Qnap’s network attached storage (NAS) drive occupies an essential niche situated between consumer and business NAS offerings.  Its integration with Windows Active Directory fit the latter, while a more user-friendly interface and lower price point align it with consumer NASes. The TS-469 Pro TurboNAS is a good fit for a business professional running a home office or small business network, because it provides easy management of shared data and USB devices on a small network and very good disk failure recovery. Even better, improvements have come to features that fell short the last time I reviewed  a similar QNAP NAS. But an issue with this NAS remains: compared with similar devices targeting SMBs, the TS-469′s Read/Write performance is a bit sluggish. 

Specs
The TS-469 is an expandable NAS with four drive bays. The front panel features a USB port for performing quick copy jobs of data from the NAS to a USB drive with just a touch. There’s also a toggle button to navigate the LCD menu on the front of the device. The LCD displays information such as the boot process during device startup, as well as TCP/IP information, hostname, and volume status.
