Overall ratingVery good89/100
- Extensive functions
- Remote control included
- DLNA-capable at the time of commissioning
- Training period required
With the Qnap Turbo Station TS-251A, a small PC comes into your household thanks to the Celeron dual core: In addition to full-blown NAS functions, the TS-251A-4G also offers an HDMI port and USB ports for mouse and keyboard. A small remote control is also included. When operating via HDMI, you can also use the NAS as a media player...
- Best equipment
- fast
- Best protection against data loss
- High price
- somewhat difficult operation
With the mixture of high speed, sophisticated protection for the stored data and more connections, the TS-251A secured second place. This makes it possible to get over the sometimes somewhat awkward operation. Unusual for a NAS: The Qnap can be connected directly to TVs (HDMI) and PCs (via USB).
The QNAP offers a lot of features and functionality for the money. It also delivers good performance data and very good usability.
