QNAP TS-531X High-performance 5-bay NAS Review

Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2017-01-05

The TS-531X NAS from QNAP was designed for low power consumption and can be successfully used in both home and SMB environments thanks to its multiple connectivity options (10 Gigabit SFP+ LAN ports for fast access in business environments, while the two RJ45 Gigabit LAN ports are ready to be used on a broad range of machines). The NAS does have an Alpine AL-314 Quad-core 1.4GHz ARM Cortex A-15 Processor at its heart and the pre-built models do arrive in 2GB and 8GB configurations; the system also does come with no less than three USB 3.0 ports for connecting external devices, has a free expansion slot and we can install up to 5 3.5’’ or 2.5’’ drives on it.
