QNAP Systems Inc. is the “Quality Network Appliance Provider”, the leader in Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Network Video Recorder (NVR) solution provider has now launched its new TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS.

Sometime back QNAP’s TS-439 was perfectly fine for the small businesses for their storage needs. The new TS-809 Pro Turbo, is much advanced storage, which is capable of housing 8 SATA hard drives. 8 SATA hard drives storages ranges up to 16TB. This unit is powered with 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. The storage housing is also powered with 2GB DDR2 RAM with read/write speed of 126MB/s and 111MB/s. It supports RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+Spare, JBOD, Online RAID Capacity Expansion, and Online RAID Level Migration.

The TS-809 Pro can serve as a NAS and an iSCSI target server. The built-in iSCSI target feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area Network) alternative for SMB. You can set up the NAS to expand the storage capacity for existing application servers, such as database server and mail server in an economic way. Moreover, the “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows you to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the beginning regardless of the physical volume capacity.
