Final Thoughts


Pricing

At the time of writing, you can get a great deal on the QNAP TS-231P. In the UK it can be yours for £199.33 and in the US you can get it for $159.00.

Conclusion

I could make this paragraph very short: If you’re looking for a business oriented NAS with great power and a low asking price, then the QNAP TS-231P is the one for you. Dual LAN, USB 3.0, a low power consumption, and an impressive performance are what you get.

At the heart of the NAS is an ARM processor and 1GB RAM. That doesn’t sound like a lot, and it technically isn’t. Still, we saw some of the most impressive performance results in our benchmarks. Whether you want to use encryption or not, you won’t notice a lot of difference thanks to the built-in hardware encryption engine.

The operating system, QTS, is a joy to use. The latest version, 4.3.3, is better than ever and easier to use than it ever was before. Whether you’re familiar with previous versions of it or new to NAS in general, you’ll find what you’re looking for quickly. There are all the basic features you want for file sharing and streaming as well as tonnes more. Anti virus, anti malware, cloud synchronisation, web servers, media streamers, and much more are all possible with QTS.

Pros:

  • Power efficient
  • Great throughput performance
  • Dual LAN and USB 3.0
  • Low asking price
  • QTS 4.3.3 powered

Cons:

  • RAM not upgradeable

“The QNAP TS-231P is a solid choice for those who want performance on a budget. The performance figures speak for themselves and QTS backs it with functionality.”
