QNAP Systems, Inc. today unveils the next generation Linux-embedded
one-bay and two-bay NAS: TS-109 Pro II and TS-209 Pro II
Turbo NAS. The TS-109 Pro II and TS-209 Pro II series adopts high
performance Marvell 500MHz CPU and 256MB DDRII large memory, which is a
double of the memory size of the previous generation (TS-109/209 series)
and becomes the best hardware specifications in the present SOHO NAS
market. The Turbo NAS maintains superior system performance even if
there are multiple accesses to various network services of the server
concurrently. The new QNAP NAS models come with enhanced software
functions, including the new BitTorrent download engine, built-in
Joomla! CMS 1.5.1 for ease of PHP/MySQL-based web server hosting and
upgraded TwonkyMedia version 4.4.4 for DLNA compliant media playing.
Other professional features such as HDD S.M.A.R.T., complete log system,
schedule backup from NAS to external storage device, etc. are also
available.
Upgraded BT engine for high-speed download
Besides the outstanding hardware specifications, the BitTorrent download
performance of TS-109 Pro II and TS-209 Pro II series is largely
enhanced. The high-speed DHT mode and TCP/UDP tracker protocols are
supported to overcome the drawbacks of slow download of general embedded
systems. You can now enjoy the level of P2P download speed as PC-based
BT download. The optional firmware with encrypted BT is also provided on
QNAP website for users who are suffered from traffic shaping by ISP to
increase the download speed! QNAP also provides the remote management
software-QGet to allow you to manage the download tasks of multiple NAS
servers remotely over the local network or the Internet. According to
Mr. Laurent Cheng, Product Manager from QNAP, "Most power users are used
to using PC for BT download. However, PC-based BT download is
energy-consuming and the fan is always noisy. As the performance of
embedded system improves and evolves, we strongly believe that QNAP’s
energy-saving Linux-embedded NAS will become an alternative solution to
replace PC as a download server."
