QNAP TVS-863+ NAS Review

Qfinder is a utility that starts the process of getting your NAS ready. Not only does it identify the QNAP devices that reside on your network, it is capable of configuring the device for those of you that don’t want to get into the nitty-gritty right off the bat. Once fired up, the software shows the hostname, the IP Address, your firmware version, the model, the MAC Address, and whether or not your firmware is up to date. After highlighting a device, first time configuration is as easy as pressing the configure button.

Upon launch, QFinder will locate all the QNAP NAS on your network and will prompt you for configuration. Subsequently, it will notify you that a firmware update is available should your NAS ship without having the latest version installed.

I will almost always prefer to take control choose to manually configure the NAS… as much as Wizards will allow. This wizard starts the process by prompting you for your NAS Hostname and administrator password. The same screen allows you to choose your disk configuration with a simple dropdown menu as well as providing the total capacity the given selection provides allowing you to make an informed decision.

Thecus W5000 NAS Review

Just when I thought it was safe to open a box again, Thecus drops one at my door and tells me that they have produced the First Ever Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Essentials NAS. After coming hot off the heals of the Buffalo WSS 5400 NAS review, I thought I would have a break to get back to some good ole fashioned Linux based NAS reviews, I guess not. Having liked the Buffalo NAS, I can't wait to see what Thecus is able to accomplish with their W5000 5-Bay premium NAS.
