The QNAP acronym stands for "Quality Network Appliance Provider", and although QNAP Systems, Inc. is a relatively new company (starting out in 2004), it aims to become the world leader for Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Network Video Recorder (NVR) solutions. The NAS systems are grouped under two product lines, one aimed at the Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) and Corporate sectors, and the other aimed at the Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) and Home markets. CCTV surveillance systems often use standalone systems that can only record to a CD-R/DVD±R. With a Network Video Recorder, you use IP cameras and can monitor the cameras and recordings remotely. QNAP also offers a network multimedia player that can connect to your TV and stereo system. So, you can see that the company covers several areas of networking, and caters for a wide spectrum of usage, from the more serious business side of things, to the more fun entertainment area.In this review, I'll be taking a look at the QNAP TS-459U-RP Turbo NAS, hereafter referred as TS-459U-RP. This system is a 4-drive NAS server, aimed at the SMB/Corporate sector (although it could quite easily be used in a SOHO/Home setup). The system does not come with hard drives, so I will be investigating the features the NAS has on offer, to see if the price is justified, and how suitable it is for its target market.
