Today, I am taking a look at what the Network Attached Storage, or NAS, world has to offer.  When QNAP offered to send me one of their NAS storage units for a review, I became quite excited about being able to take a look at the features and benefits of such a device.

As the title suggests, the QNAP TS-219P Turbo NAS is the subject of today’s review.

As a primer, you might want to read my unboxing post before you continue reading this review.

About Jim Clark

Hello. I’m from the heartland of the U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PCs since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    Would love to see some file transfer benchmarks and comparisons with the WHS machines. I'm on the fence about what kind of home server to get

    hmm. I will have to check out disk benchmark programs for Linux. Regarding file transfer benchies (over a network), I do not read much into those simply because there are far too many variables to do apples to apples comparisons.

    Unless one can help me "see the light" in how to do a good benchie… :)

      I think any file transfer difference would be negligible in a fair comparison. What would a few extra Kbps do for your life.
