Times are a little tough right now for many small business owners, so any product that offers to save them money while still performing every function they require is sure to interest many of them. The task of providing an affordable product, that cuts overhead yet still performs up to par is not any easy undertaking. Most small businesses today have at least some level of data storage needs. It may be as simple as storing bookkeeping records, emails and customer contact information, it may involve storing legal documents or patient records, it may involve storing work product such as digital artwork or CAD drawings, or it may even involve hosting the company's retail sales website. The bottom line is that in today's business world it is hard to find a small business that doesn't have some need to store their digital data. This is where the Network Attached Storage servers come in and today Benchmark Reviews will be taking a close look at one of these NAS Servers, the QNAP TS-409 Pro.

A NAS box (Network Attached Storage) is becoming more and more common in Danish homes. A NAS box might sound like some dangerously expensive hardware to a lot of people, but it is no such thing. A NAS box is in most cases a standard PC, only smaller and made for one simple purpose, and it's often controlled by a small Linux system on the box. A NAS box is basically an intelligent hard drive, connected to a network, but not the same as an external USB hard drive. A NAS box can do a lot more than a USB hard drive due to the fact that the NAS box is still a little PC in disguise. This
gorgeous little thing from QNAP, named TS209-PRO is no exception, and the design is top quality.

With the TS-209 Pro QNAP extends their professional NAS series with a dual bay, RAID capable product. It features all the luxuries of the previous model with added redundancy or, if preferred, increased storage space.

There's no denying the TS-209 Pro is offering a wealth of features at a very reasonable price although performance isn't particularly exciting and the client backup software is very basic for an appliance aimed at business usage.

Network-Attached Storage (NAS) servers are finally making headway in the consumer market. Enthusiasts with multiple computers have been doing network backups for years, but the expertise and/or time required to setup a NAS operating system has been quite prohibitive for the everyday user. Now, intelligent companies such as QNAP are at the forefront of the home NAS server revolution. ThinkComputers takes a look at the TS109 NAS server, a SATA hard drive enclosure with a network port, two USB host ports, and even an eSATA host port. This little guy runs Linux, too.

A Networked Attached Storage (NAS) appliance can serve the purpose of a home file server, and do it by sipping only 20 watts of electricity. Some NAS devices have other value-added services like print servers, media servers, full-features web server, and other handy features that can easily replace a large noisy computer. QNAP is one company that has several innovative NAS appliances on offer. Their TS-109 Pro NAS server has a ton of exciting features that cater to the home and small business user. The unit also has some nifty features to dynamically expand storage and copy data to the unit without a computer. Not only can the unit serve files, but it also has support as a Media Server for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, in addition to all of the other standard NAS features.

When we reviewed the Synology CS-407e we thought it wasn't possible to get any more features at this price point but QNAP has proved us wrong. Overall performance is particularly good and although the Download Station feature is of limited value there's little this box can't do - the backup features are also a cut above the rest.

The QNAP QBack-25 is an external HDD enclosure for 2.5" HDDs connected via USB. The use of 2.5" drives allows that it is powered by USB only. What makes the unit special is the included backup software which can easily compete with professional solutions. It is very easy to use and has a clean screen layout. Optional 256-bit AES encryption helps you protect your data from prying eyes. With a price of about $35 this unit is also very competitively priced.

The Qnap Qback-25's solid construction and propriety backup software makes it one of the better 2.5-inch HDD enclosures around.
