The QNAP TS-231P3 is not a NAS drive that is going to blow anyone socks off, but then again it is not claiming to! This affordable 2-Bay NAS does exactly what you expect from the hardware it arrives with, even exceeding those expectations in a number of ways too (the support of QuMagie, the 2 LAN options, 70% of the QTS library supported) and although it arrives with rather modest specifications, for the most part, it still manages to give you all of the core data and storage management applications with that hardware that a business user is going to need.
