As oppose to a dedicated file server, where you would need a central system dedicated for file sharing and storage, NAS basically strips everything to a bare minimum and its whole function is just storing and sharing files. Not only NAS can save a tremendous amount of hardware and maintenance cost from a dedicated server, they also offer an easy way to store large files so that anyone on the network can access them. In recent years, not only that the cost for NAS has dropped significantly, they are also packed with many other features that are beyond storing and sharing files. Today, we will be looking at QNAP's Turbo Station TS-101 -- 9-in-1 NAS Server.
QNAP TS-101 is an NAS enclosure which takes SATA hard drives. It supports both SATA 1 and SATA II. The enclosure which we received does not come with any hard disks. QNAP advertises the enclosure as an 9-in-1 NAS Server Turbo Station as it does not only supports NAS, it also comes with a slew of other features and applications which we will take a detailed look.
