Very easy to set up and get running.

This was my first NAS purchase for backups and music streaming. It was paired with two WD 4TB Red Plus CMR 3.5" SATA3 5400RPM Hard Drive. Assembly was straight forward and on power up the system lead me through the setup process. Loading and managing music and images is easy and I am very happy with its music streaming capabilities. I have loaded some additional software from QNAP and this has given me a great setup overall which I am very pleased with.

Good purchase price

Great unit many times better than old Free Nas I had. Recommend this unit to anyone

great Nas. my second qnap

My first qnap died after 5 years because power companies suck sometimes. Very easy to set up and the extra features are really great. Only thing is I would prefer plain white or black but that's a very petty point

Good home NAS storage.

Very nice and easy to use home little storage. Great applications and good security. If you need a home storage, highly recommended.

QNAP TS-230 review

The QNAP TS-230 takes a similar specification to the Synology DS220j and tweaks it for a better user experience. Overall, the TS-230 is a better choice for home users that want a multi-purpose NAS at a competitive price.

QTS 5.0 coming soon; 2GB of RAM; Not black or silver; SSD Caching;

Some apps need extra licenses; Fewer apps than Synology;
