Brand new device. First shipment just in. Design is pretty much the same as last year with minor modifications to the chassis; photos are not on me at the moment, but here's a nice screenshot running QNAP V3.3 with my disks running in RAID 5 plus a separate drive.

Nice, 2TB of redundant storage! Can't wait for the review. Looks like you guys are the first one. How's the performance?

Very good. I don't think I am even NAS bottlebecked. My Greens bottlenecked the system, and my target test (Comp with AAKS drive) is probably bottlenecking it now, considering how I now equipped the TS-559 Pro+ with 3 Western Digital EALS drives in RAID 5. No official benchmarks yet, but Windows is pulling ~80MB/s according to the progress meter.

Here's some official data on power consumption though, with 4 drives (Don't compare it to previous reviews since I got more disks):

Startup peak: 122W
Idle: 47W
RAID 5 Copy Load: 52W
PF: 0.98

That's fast :| Looks pretty power efficient to me, same with previous QNAP NAS as always. How bigs the PSU?

The Greens aren't slow. Good choice on Blues; very fast drives. What are you running on your target system for 80MB/s?

250W if I recall correctly. My target system is a single drive AAKS, so that is probably the biggest bottleneck :P

All photos are up though. Here are some for preview:

Awesome review, and man am I impressed by this NAS. QNAP has certainly outdone themselves here.

QNAP Mobile is basically like building your own custom Pandora with songs you already have!

I dropped by just this past Saturday and it looks pretty hardcore Posted Image I believe we were playing CS:S on his new server with these new hard drives? Posted Image But for some reason, my laptop kept uber-mass lagging... Posted Image chc's other computer was running it fine, so I'm suspecting it's my laptop Posted Image

That's my storage server... where you steal my episodes of Top Gear. :P The one running servers is 'Anthem', which is not a file storage server. This one is the TS-559 Pro+, but you can probably SSH into it to install srcds.

I like how much Preston knows about your server setup... and how he thinks you can use your NAS for a CSS server. I doubt you would even want to SSH into it to install SCRDS.

I've SSHed into the APH server back in the days to run srcds. It probably isn't hard -- just no point in doing so considering Anthem runs it under Windows Server 2008 R2 :P
