The video station allows you to archive and store your personal video collection easily. You can access your videos from anywhere and share them with friends/family.

Notable Mentions:

  • Download Station: If for some reason you didn’t want to download files to your PC or from your PC, you could do so via the Download Station. Support for FTP, Bit Torrent, HTTP, RapidShare, and my favorite… Magnet links.
  • File Station: Access the files on your NAS from anywhere
  • HD Station: With QNAP HD Station you can enjoy a Full HD movie experience on the big-screen TV via HDMI and my absolute favorite bit of software, XBMC.

That just scratches the surface! You also have all the applications available to you from the App Center. The App Center is an easy way to install more than 100 applications to extend your NAS functionality.

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.
