QNAP TurboNAS TS-659 Pro II

[Demon Cleaner]

Definitely a lot happier than with the Buffalo Terastation. But I'm glad I sent that back at that time, it was painfully slow, and just imagine, that was only 1TB, I could have put other HDDs inside, but still, that wouldn't have increased the speed, and copying even more files would have been an even slower process.

I now copied already most of my stuff there, giving me already 2 spare disks in my tower, one of which I use now mainly for movies. My PS3 and Dreamcast games are now stored on the NAS, and also my barebone backup, which I can now access from every PC.

My new Mede8er also works fine with it, only had to do some research to get it working, as the Multimedia folder is by default locked, and from the media player I couldn't access it via admin or other user defined account. I then saw that there's also privileges for guests, which has default denied access, so I set that to read only, and eventually got it working.

I also set up the NAS to send my notifications of any problems or errors via mail and SMS, works fine, and it's quite nice to know if your NAS has a problem when you're not home or next to it (doesn't replace girlfriend though )

I would say that I don't use most of the applications and functions it offers, but it's always nice to know that you have them and can use them at any time.

So far, 100% thumbs up for the Qnap
